Wrongful Death Claims Following Fatal Multi-Vehicle Crashes in New York
When a person is killed in a multi-vehicle crash in New York, surviving family members may have the right to pursue a wrongful death claim. Under New York law, families have two years from the date of death to file a wrongful death action, and three years to pursue a personal injury claim on behalf of a surviving injured party. These claims can seek compensation for lost future earnings, funeral and burial expenses, and the loss of care and guidance the deceased provided to their family.
New York follows a pure comparative negligence standard, meaning that fault can be shared among multiple drivers and compensation is adjusted accordingly. In crashes involving three or more vehicles, determining liability often requires a thorough review of physical evidence, witness accounts, and any available traffic camera or vehicle data. Consulting an experienced Rochester car accident attorney as soon as possible after a fatal crash helps preserve critical evidence, including black box data and surveillance footage, before it is lost.
