Wrongful Death Lawsuits

When an individual's death is caused by the negligence or intentional acts of another person or entity, New York law allows for the family members of the deceased to recover compensation. These types of lawsuits are known as wrongful death lawsuits. Cases of wrongful death often result from tragic accidents and other forms of negligence, including the following:

• Medical malpractice
• Auto accidents
• Truck accidents
• Catastrophic injuries

Wrongful death claims must be brought within a specific period of time following the fatal accident or injury. Contact the wrongful death attorneys at Block O'Toole & Murphy to receive a Free Consultation today.
