Types of Wrongful Death Cases We Handle in New York City
A wrongful death claim arises when someone dies as a result of another person’s negligence or unlawful actions. If the deceased—also known as the decedent—would have had the right to file a personal injury lawsuit had they survived, a qualified party, such as a family member or the estate’s representative, may bring a wrongful death claim on their behalf.
Common types of wrongful death cases we handle in New York City include:
- Motor Vehicle Accidents: Fatal crashes involving cars, trucks, motorcycles, buses, or pedestrians are unfortunately frequent in NYC’s crowded streets and intersections. These cases often involve reckless driving, distracted driving, or violations of traffic laws.
- Workplace Accidents: Fatal injuries occurring on the job due to employer negligence or unsafe conditions may give rise to wrongful death claims, in addition to workers’ compensation benefits.
- Construction Site Accidents: New York City has numerous ongoing construction projects. Fatal falls, equipment accidents, or unsafe working conditions can lead to wrongful death claims for construction workers or bystanders.
- Medical Malpractice: When a healthcare provider’s negligence causes a patient’s death, families may have grounds for a wrongful death lawsuit. These cases can involve surgical errors, misdiagnosis, medication mistakes, or inadequate care.
- Nursing Home Negligence: This is an important category of wrongful death involving seniors in long-term care facilities. Common causes include bedsores, falls, untreated infections, and failure to administer necessary medications.
- Premises Liability: Property owners have a duty to maintain safe environments. Fatal accidents, including slip and fall accidents, caused by hazardous conditions, such as dangerous stairways, defective elevators, or inadequate security, may result in wrongful death claims.
- Lead poisoning: Lead Poisoning and Toxic Exposure: Fatal exposure to hazardous substances like lead, particularly in older residential buildings, can form the basis of a wrongful death claim. Landlords and property owners may be held liable for failing to remediate known environmental dangers.
- Criminal Acts and Police Misconduct: Deaths caused by violent crimes, assaults, or police misconduct can also be subject to wrongful death actions. These cases often require careful investigation and understanding of civil rights laws.
- Product Liability: Defective or dangerous products that cause fatal injuries can lead to wrongful death claims against manufacturers, distributors, or retailers.
Each wrongful death case is unique and requires a thorough review of the facts, applicable laws, and potential defendants. Our attorneys understand the complexities of New York City’s legal system and work to identify all responsible parties to hold them accountable. We recognize the profound loss families endure and provide compassionate guidance throughout the legal process.

Steps to Take In Wrongful Death Cases
If you have lost a loved one due to what may have been the wrongful actions of another, you may be able to pursue compensation from the parties whose conduct caused the tragedy. In New York, the process of filing a wrongful death claim is complex. It involves specific legal requirements, strict deadlines, and a formal court process.
Below are three of the most important steps to take when pursuing a wrongful death claim.
- Determine Who Files the Wrongful Death Claim.
- In most states, any surviving family member can file a wrongful death claim on behalf of the deceased. However, in New York, only the individual named in the last will—known as the personal representative—can file the claim on behalf of the deceased’s estate.
- If no personal representative was designated at the time of death, family members can petition the court to appoint someone to serve in that role. Once appointed, that person has the legal right to file the claim.
- Be Aware of Deadlines.
- Wrongful death lawsuits in New York generally must be filed within two years of the date of death. However, there are several exceptions that are often relevant to wrongful death claims, including medical malpractice or death resulting from a pending criminal case.
- If a government agency is involved, such as the NYPD, a public hospital, or a city department, you may have just 90 days to file a Notice of Claim. Missing these deadlines can prevent you from bringing a case.
- Speak With a Wrongful Death Attorney
- A wrongful death claim is one of the few types of cases where seeking legal help is often essential. To move forward without an attorney, you’ll need to first determine what damages to pursue and which parties may be legally responsible. This can include compensation for lost income, funeral expenses, and the loss of companionship or support.
- You’ll also need to prove that your loved one died as a result of someone’s negligent or intentional conduct. Doing so requires a solid understanding of New York’s wrongful death laws, procedural requirements, and court rules—many of which involve strict deadlines and legal standards that must be met for the claim to succeed.
- An experienced attorney can guide you through every part of the process—from helping identify a personal representative and determining which claims can be brought, to negotiating with the opposing party, which may even result in a settlement before trial. If a settlement isn’t possible, your attorney can handle all the necessary details to prepare and present your case in court.

What Can You Be Compensated For in Wrongful Death Cases?
Losing a family member because of someone else’s wrongdoing is heartbreaking and can leave your household facing sudden bills and an uncertain future. New York law lets the estate bring a wrongful‑death action to recover pecuniary (economic) losses—the dollars‑and‑cents impact the death has on survivors. Emotional grief and spousal loss‑of‑consortium are not compensable under current statutes; recent efforts to expand the law were vetoed again in December 2024.
Economic Damages the Estate May Recover EPTL § 5‑4.3 (a)
- Final medical expenses – Ambulance, emergency care, hospitalization, and other treatment related to the fatal injury or illness.
- Funeral and burial costs – Reasonable funeral home, cremation, or burial expenses
- Lost wages & benefits – Salary, bonuses, health insurance, retirement contributions, and other earnings the decedent would have provided
- Loss of household services – Childcare, elder care, cooking, cleaning, home maintenance, and similar tasks the decedent performed
- Loss of parental guidance – The nurturing, education, and guidance that minor children would have received
Separate Survival Claim for Conscious Pain & Suffering
If your loved one experienced conscious pain, fear, or mental anguish between the injury and death, the estate may recover those damages through a companion “survival” action. This money goes to the estate and is distributed to heirs under the will or intestacy rules.
Punitive Damages
When the defendant’s conduct was willful, wanton, or showed a high degree of moral culpability, the court may award punitive damages to punish the wrongdoer and deter similar acts. These awards are uncommon but can be substantial.
If you have lost a loved one in New York City due to negligence, it is crucial to understand your rights and the compensation you may be entitled to receive. Contact The Orlow Firm for a free consultation. We can help you explore your legal options and fight for the justice and financial support your family may be entitled to. Call us today at (646) 647-3398.
Who Can be Liable?
Determining who is legally responsible in a wrongful death case is a critical first step toward pursuing justice and compensation for your loss. In New York City, wrongful death claims arise when someone’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional actions cause the death of another person. Liability can rest with individuals, businesses, government entities, or other parties, depending on the circumstances.
Common parties who may be held liable for wrongful death in New York City include:
- Negligent Drivers: Car, truck, motorcycle, or rideshare drivers who cause fatal accidents by violating traffic laws or driving carelessly on busy NYC streets and highways.
- Property Owners: Landlords, building managers, or business owners responsible for unsafe conditions on their premises that lead to fatal injuries, such as slip-and-fall accidents or inadequate security.
- Employers and Contractors: Companies that fail to maintain safe work environments or violate safety regulations, especially in construction or industrial settings, may result in fatal workplace accidents.
- Medical Providers: Hospitals, doctors, or nurses whose medical malpractice or negligence leads to a patient’s death.
- Government Entities: City or state agencies responsible for maintaining roads, sidewalks, or public spaces that cause fatal accidents due to poor maintenance or hazardous conditions.
- Manufacturers and Product Sellers: Companies that produce or sell defective products that cause fatal injuries.
- Criminal Actors: Individuals whose intentional acts, such as assault or homicide, result in wrongful death claims against them or their estates.
In New York, wrongful death claims often involve complex issues of fault and liability. Establishing who is legally responsible requires a thorough investigation of the facts, evidence, and applicable laws. For example, in NYC traffic fatality cases, liability may hinge on traffic camera footage, witness statements, and police reports from local precincts. In premises liability claims, documentation of hazardous conditions and maintenance records is crucial.
It is important to understand that under New York law, a wrongful death claim can only be filed by the personal representative of the deceased’s estate, not directly by individual family members. This representative is either named in the deceased’s will or appointed by the court if no will exists. The claim is filed on behalf of eligible surviving family members, such as a spouse, children, or parents, who may be entitled to receive compensation.
If you have lost a loved one due to someone else’s negligence or wrongful act, understanding who may be liable is the first step in seeking justice. Our New York City wrongful death lawyers are prepared to investigate your case thoroughly, identify all responsible parties, and pursue the compensation to which your family may be legally entitled

Common Injuries Resulting in Wrongful Death Cases in New York City
Wrongful death cases in New York City often arise from tragic accidents that cause fatal injuries. Understanding the types of injuries that commonly lead to wrongful death claims can help families recognize when they may have legal grounds to seek justice. These injuries frequently result from negligence in busy urban settings such as NYC streets, construction sites, workplaces, or public spaces.
The most common fatal injuries involved in wrongful death cases include:
- Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs): Severe head trauma from car crashes, falls, or assaults can cause irreversible brain damage, leading to death.
- Spinal Cord Injuries: Catastrophic damage to the spine may result in paralysis and complications that can be fatal.
- Blunt Force Trauma: Injuries caused by impact with vehicles, heavy objects, or during violent incidents often result in internal bleeding and organ failure.
- Internal Organ Damage: Severe trauma to vital organs such as the heart, lungs, or liver can cause rapid deterioration and death.
- Asphyxiation and Suffocation: Situations involving choking, strangulation, or lack of oxygen, sometimes seen in workplace accidents or criminal acts.
- Electrocution: Fatal electrical injuries, especially common in construction zones or maintenance work in NYC.
- Drowning: Accidents occurring in pools, rivers, or during flooding incidents leading to fatal outcomes.
- Burns: Serious burn injuries from fires or explosions that cause irreversible damage to the body.
- Medical Negligence: Fatal injuries resulting from delayed or improper medical treatment in hospitals or clinics.
In New York City, crowded streets, ongoing construction projects, and high traffic volumes increase the risk of accidents, causing severe injuries. For example, pedestrian fatalities often involve traumatic brain injuries or blunt force trauma from vehicle collisions. Construction workers face risks of electrocution, falls, and crush injuries that can be deadly. Additionally, medical malpractice cases in NYC hospitals sometimes lead to wrongful death claims when treatment errors cause fatal harm.
If your loved one suffered a fatal injury in New York City, it is important to understand the nature of the injury and the circumstances surrounding it. Our wrongful death lawyers are experienced in handling cases involving these types of injuries and can help you pursue rightful compensation for your loss.

Statute of Limitations in New York Wrongful Death Cases
When pursuing a wrongful death claim in New York City, understanding the strict deadlines involved is critical. These deadlines, known as the “statute of limitations,” dictate how long you have to file a lawsuit after a loved one’s death. Missing these deadlines can result in the permanent loss of your right to seek compensation.
In New York, the general statute of limitations for a wrongful death action is two (2) years from the date of the decedent’s death, as set forth in EPTL § 5-4.1(1). This means that regardless of when the injury occurred, the clock for filing a wrongful death lawsuit generally starts ticking on the day the person passed away.
However, there are important exceptions and nuances to this rule that can affect your case:
-
Claims Against Government Entities: If the wrongful death was caused by a city, state, or other government entity (e.g., a fatal accident due to poorly maintained public property, or negligence by a city hospital), a much shorter deadline applies. You typically must file a Notice of Claim within 90 days of the incident, and then commence the lawsuit within one year and 90 days (pursuant to GML § 50-e and GML § 50-i). These deadlines are exceptionally strict, and failure to comply will almost certainly bar your claim.
-
Medical Malpractice Leading to Death: If wrongful death was caused by medical malpractice, two different deadlines may apply. A medical malpractice claim (CPLR 214-A) must be filed within 2.5 years from the date of the malpractice or the end of ongoing treatment. A wrongful death claim, however, must still be filed within 2 years from the date of death as well. Because both claims may be necessary, the applicable deadlines depend on the specific facts of the case and should be reviewed by a lawyer.
-
Survival Actions: In addition to a wrongful death claim, an estate may also pursue a “survival action” for the conscious pain and suffering endured by the deceased between the time of injury and death. The statute of limitations for a survival action is typically three (3) years from the date of the injury, or one year from the date of death, whichever is longer.
Given the complexities and strict nature of these deadlines, it is vital to consult with an experienced New York City wrongful death attorney as soon as possible after the loss of a loved one. Our lawyers at The Orlow Firm can assess the specific details of your case, determine the applicable statutes of limitations, and ensure that all necessary legal actions are taken promptly to protect your family’s rights. Delaying action can jeopardize your ability to pursue the justice and compensation your family deserves.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
When a loved one dies due to someone else’s negligence, many questions arise about your legal rights and the claims process. Below are some of the most common questions we hear from families in New York City facing wrongful death cases. Understanding these issues can help you make informed decisions during a difficult time.
- How soon must I file a wrongful death claim in New York City? Under New York’s wrongful-death statute, an action must usually be commenced within two (2) years of the decedent’s death (EPTL § 5-4.1(1)). This deadline is strict, so it is important to consult with an attorney promptly to protect your rights.
- Who can bring a wrongful death lawsuit in New York? In New York, a wrongful death lawsuit must be filed by the personal representative of the deceased named in the decedent’s will. Unlike many other states, surviving family members—such as spouses, children, or parents—cannot file the claim directly, even though they may be entitled to recover damages. If no representative was named in a will, eligible relatives can petition the court to appoint one.
- Can I still file a claim if the deceased was partially at fault for the accident? Yes. New York applies pure comparative negligence—damages are reduced, not barred, by any fault of the decedent (CPLR § 1411). This means that if the deceased was partly responsible, the damages awarded may be reduced by their percentage of fault, but a claim can still proceed.
- How long will a wrongful death case take to resolve in New York City? The timeline varies depending on the case’s complexity, the severity of injuries, and whether the parties reach a settlement or go to trial. Some cases resolve within months, while others may take a year or longer.
- Do I need a lawyer to handle a wrongful death claim? Wrongful death claims are complex, and legal help is often essential. To proceed without an attorney, you must identify the right damages, determine who’s legally responsible, and meet strict court rules and deadlines. An experienced lawyer can guide you through every step—from appointing a personal representative and filing the claim, to negotiating a settlement or taking the case to trial if needed.
- What if the responsible party is a government entity? Claims against public entities require (1) a Notice of Claim within 90 days (GML § 50-e) and (2) commencement of suit within one year and 90 days (GML § 50-i). These cases also involve different legal procedures, so it is critical to act quickly and seek legal advice.
