Losing a loved one is always a devastating experience, but the trauma is intensified exponentially when that death is due to the negligence of others, especially in cases where it could have been avoided.

Sometimes people die and it’s nobody’s fault. Cars slip on ice and collisions occur. Surgeries have risk factors that could result in death. That said, there are also times when someone is to blame, through negligence or willful intent to cause harm. When this occurs, you need experienced wrongful death attorneys to help you hold the people responsible accountable. If you suspect that your loved one was the victim of wrongful death, don’t hesitate to seek compensation with the help of the qualified attorney at K L Sanchez Law. We have a proven track record of financial recovery in cases like yours, and if there’s no recovery, you pay no fees.
The first thing you need to know is if you’re eligible to file a wrongful death claim and receive compensation for the loss of your loved one. In the state of New York, only the executor of the estate (the personal representative of the deceased) may file a wrongful death claim, but they do so on behalf of spouses, children, or parents of the deceased, who will become the beneficiaries in the event of a settlement. You should also know that the statute of limitations for wrongful death claims is fairly short. While most personal liability cases allow for a three-year window to file a claim, you only have two years from the date of death to file a wrongful death lawsuit. While it can be hard to muster the energy to fight a legal battle in the wake of such a significant loss, it’s best to consult with the wrongful death attorney at K L Sanchez Law Office as soon as possible so we can get the ball rolling on your case and you can rest easy knowing it will be handled in a timely manner.
One of the things an experienced wrongful death lawyer will do for you is help to ascertain who is responsible for the death, whether it’s another driver in a car accident, a medical provider in a medical malpractice case, a property owner in a slip and fall accident, or a pet owner in the case of a dog attack, just for example. In some cases, the liability is shared by multiple people .Those responsible may try to place the blame on the deceased in order to avoid liability and payment. It may even be determined that your deceased loved one bears some responsibility. However, this doesn’t mean you have no claim for wrongful death.
The state of New York observes comparative negligence, which means that blame for incidents can be shared and it can affect the level of liability each person at fault is assigned. Even if your loved one is held partially responsible, others may still be on the hook for compensation, albeit a smaller percentage. This just means that you may recover less compensation, but it doesn’t mean you should give up on seeking the compensation you’re due. Our expert team can help you to build the best case possible and make sure that those who are responsible are held accountable.
