Wrongful Death – just the title of the topic can send chills down one’s spine. The lost of a loved one is hard enough when it comes as a result of natural causes, but when the life of a family member is taken away due to the negligence of another, the pain and grief of the survivors is magnified. The civil justice system in New York provides for damages in what is known as a wrongful death action, but shamefully, the archaic law (over 160 years old!) that governs such cases greatly limits what damages can be awarded regardless of the emotional and physical impact that a family member’s death can have. Damages presently NOT Available in New York
- Grief and Anguish caused by the decedent’s death;
- Any Disorder caused by such Grief or Anguish;
- loss of Love, Society, Protection;
- loss of Comfort, Companionship and Consortium resulting from the decedent’s death.
