Wrongful Death Actions

The sudden loss of a loved one is a tragedy that can be difficult to cope with, especially when the death was caused by someone else’s negligence. If you have lost a loved one due to the negligent actions of another party, you may be able to pursue compensation through a wrongful death action with the help of a personal injury attorney at Robert K. Young Law in Merrick, NY.

In order to qualify for a wrongful death action, you must be able to demonstrate that the death was caused by the negligence or intentional actions of another party, and that you have suffered damages as a result of the death. Damages can include medical expenses, funeral and burial costs, lost income, and pain and suffering.

Examples of situations that may give rise to a wrongful death action include car accidents caused by reckless driving, medical malpractice resulting in a patient’s death, and workplace accidents caused by unsafe working conditions. In order to establish liability in a wrongful death case, your personal injury attorney will need to gather evidence to support your claim. This may include eyewitness testimony, medical records, accident reports, and other documentation related to the incident.

If you are able to establish liability, you may be able to recover compensation for your damages through a wrongful death action. While no amount of money can replace the loss of a loved one, pursuing a wrongful death claim can help you obtain the financial resources you need to cover expenses related to the death and move forward with your life.

If you have lost a loved one due to someone else’s negligence, it’s important to consult with an experienced personal injury attorney as soon as possible. Robert K.
