Losing a loved one is devastating. Losing them because someone else was careless? That kind of grief cuts deeper. At Kari Law Group, PLLC, we help New Yorkers turn heartbreak into action by pursuing wrongful death claims that hold negligent parties accountable and provide families with the justice—and support—they deserve.
What Is Wrongful Death?
A wrongful death happens when a person dies due to someone else’s negligent, reckless, or intentional actions. This could be:
• A fatal car accident caused by a drunk driver.
• A workplace injury that should have been prevented.
• A pedestrian struck in a crosswalk by a distracted driver.
• A medical error that leads to a preventable death.
In these moments, it’s not just about compensation—it’s about answers, accountability, and helping families begin to heal.
Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim in New York?
In New York, a wrongful death lawsuit must be filed by the personal representative (executor) of the deceased’s estate. While other states allow family members to sue directly, New York’s law requires this extra step.
Still, eligible family members—like spouses, children, and parents—can recover damages from the lawsuit. We help families through this legal maze with compassion and clarity.
What Damages Can Be Recovered?
A wrongful death claim can seek compensation for:
• Funeral and burial expenses
• Medical bills related to the fatal injury
• Lost income and benefits the deceased would have provided
• Loss of parental guidance, care, and companionship
• Pain and suffering experienced by the deceased before passing
Every case is unique. We work with financial experts and forensic economists to quantify long-term losses like pensions, future earnings, and the value of household contributions.
Real Talk: Insurance Companies Aren’t on Your Side
After a tragedy, insurance companies may seem sympathetic—but make no mistake: their goal is to limit payouts. You may get a lowball offer or pressure to settle fast. Don’t.
We investigate thoroughly, collect every document, and build strong legal arguments backed by expert testimony. If they won’t negotiate fairly, we’re ready for trial.
