Wrongful Death Claims Following Fatal 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, such claims must be filed within two years of the date of death. Families may be entitled to compensation for funeral and burial expenses, lost future earnings, and the loss of care and guidance the deceased provided to loved ones.
New York operates under a pure comparative negligence standard, meaning that even if a party bears some share of responsibility for a crash, that does not necessarily bar recovery. Evidence such as black box data, surveillance footage, and witness statements can be critical to establishing liability, and that evidence can disappear quickly after a collision. Consulting with an experienced Upstate New York car accident attorney as soon as possible after a fatal crash in Monroe County can help families preserve that evidence and understand every legal option available to them.
