When an unfortunate tragedy occurs and a loved one has died in or as a result of a car accident, it is highly unlikely that you are thinking of filing a wrongful death lawsuit against the person or persons responsible. But after suitable time has passed to allow you to begin to think rationally and about the future, you should consider contacting an auto accident lawyer in NYC and discussing the details of your case.
A wrongful death lawsuit can be filed when a person has died as a result of another’s actions that could have been prevented had the responsible party just acted with more care, such as in the recent accident in Farmingdale on Long Island that left one man dead. With the help of an auto accident lawyer in NYC, you can file a wrongful death lawsuit against someone who was speeding, texting while driving, or generally driving recklessly, resulting in an accident that caused the death of your loved one. You do not need to file a wrongful death lawsuit immediately, but you should be aware that you do have a limited time to file, typically about two years.

A wrongful death lawsuit will enable you to receive compensation to account for the death of your loved one. While NYC auto accident lawyers know that you can never place a monetary value on the life of your loved one, you must realize that you are entitled to monetary compensation for their death, as well as your own mental pain and anguish, and additional damages such as lost wages if the deceased was the primary financial provider for your family.
