The death of your loved one may be a difficult situation. The untimely death of your loved one as the result of negligence or carelessness by another person is particularly upsetting. Your loved one has been a victim of a wrongful death if he or she suffered a fatal injury as a result of another person’s negligence or carelessness. You have the right as their relative to file a wrongful death lawsuit against that negligent party and hold the person accountable for their reproachable actions.

There are numerous situations in which a wrongful death may occur. Listed below are several of the more commonly related situations resulting in wrongful death:

• Abuse at a nursing home
• Accidents due to a faulty and hazardous product
• Auto, motorcycle and pedestrian accidents
• Drunk driver-related accident
• Negligence or carelessness in use of a firearm
• Severe head trauma
• Swimming accident in an unsupervised area

The State of New York has a statute of limitations (the time in which a person may file a lawsuit) regarding a wrongful death is typically two years from the date of death, with some exceptions.

A wrongful death case engages very complex areas of law, which is why it is imperative that you hire an experienced wrongful death attorney from Wingate, Russotti & Shapiro to stand for your case.
