Losing a loved one unexpectedly is the most difficult thing a person can go through. When a person is wrongfully killed due to the negligent or unlawful actions of another person, the surviving family members are left grappling with immense emotional and financial challenges. At K L Sanchez Law, we want to help you overcome these challenges. We know that there is nothing that could ever undo what you are going through; no amount of recovery can �compensate� you for the loss of your loved one. However, filing a wrongful death lawsuit against the negligent party can not only provide you with a much-needed feeling of justice, but it can also provide financial relief during this difficult time.

In the eyes of the law, a �wrongful� death occurs when the death was the result of negligence or misconduct. For example, if a drunk driver causes an accident that leaves another dead, the drunk driver has acted negligently and unlawfully and can therefore be held liable for the damages suffered by the deceased�s family. The state of New York has guidelines governing who may bring a wrongful death action. The wrongful death claim must be filed by the personal representative of the deceased�s estate on behalf of certain surviving family members. These family members are eligible to recover damages, but they cannot actually bring the claim themselves. Only the personal representative of the estate can file the claim; if no personal representative was named in the decedent�s estate plan (e.g. if there was no will), the court will appoint one.
In a wrongful death claim, surviving loved ones seek compensation for damages they have suffered due to the decedent�s passing. Unfortunately, New York does not permit surviving family members and loved ones to recover from their own mental and emotional distress in the wake of their loved one�s death. At K L Sanchez Law, we are sincerely sorry for the loss you have endured. Our Queens wrongful death attorney is here to guide you through the legal process and work to recover the maximum compensation you and your family are owed. We are happy to answer any questions you may have. We offer contingency fees, meaning you do not owe us anything unless/until we recover a settlement or verdict on your behalf.
