Brooklyn, NY Wrongful Death Lawyer

Wrongful death can have many causes, but what they all have in common is that the death is caused by another party’s recklessness, negligence, or even an intentional act. Without the party’s actions, the victim would have survived. Another part of a wrongful death case is that the victim has surviving family members who are left to pick up the pieces.

Many family members pursue a wrongful death case for justice. However, another reason is that a death can be expensive. A funeral alone in Brooklyn, NY, can cost anywhere between $2,000 for a simple cremation up to $12,000 or more for a full ceremony and service. Families can also experience other expenses. A wrongful death, for example, can mean a home loses a main breadwinner. Depending on the age of the victim, there also may not have been measures in place for what to do after they died—such as a last will and testament.

Our legal team understands that you also can’t put a price tag on factors like grief and emotional damage. Many insurance companies won’t consider emotional damage when offering a victim’s family a settlement.
