Sometimes loved ones are taken from us too soon. A sudden death can wreak havoc on you and your family. You suddenly have funeral bills to pay, a loss of wages from a provider and an unimaginable amount of pain and suffering. We apologize for you going through this difficult time and offer condolences.

However, you may be left with a lot of questions. Whether it was working on the job, a sudden car crash or something else, another party may be responsible. At Bhurtel Law Firm, we want to help you get compensation for your loved one’s wrongful death. We will assist you with surrogate court proceedings.

How long do I have to file a wrongful death claim?

In the state of New York, one typically has two years from the date of accident to file a wrongful death claim. However, it can vary by case. For example, if the death was caused by the City of New York, then you have 90 days to file your claim.

Who can file a wrongful death claim?

You may file a wrongful death claim if the deceased was your child, your spouse/partner or parent. Other circumstances may allow others to file a wrongful death claim. Please see an attorney to see if you can file a wrongful death claim for a loved one.

Why file a wrongful death claim?

A wrongful death claim is meant to be pursued if the deceased cannot. If someone gets into an auto accident, they would file a personal injury claim for the auto accident. However, if one cannot, you can file on behalf of them so justice is served. No amount of compensation can replace the presence of a loved one, but we will ensure that justice is served.
