We Have Years of Experience with Wrongful Death Lawsuits in New York City

It’s impossible to determine whether or not your case could be considered a “wrongful death” case simply by researching the internet.  To understand whether or not your case really is a valid wrongful death case, we need to analyze the specific facts and circumstances surrounding it.

However, to help you understand if your case is appropriate for our New York wrongful death lawyers to review, consider the following example:

Your spouse is driving on a jet ski, but they abruptly fall off and drown.  At first glance, this case doesn’t seem like a wrongful death case because it seems like their fault.  But, additional factors you might not be aware of could make this case a valid wrongful death suit.

For example, the jet ski could have been poorly constructed, it may not have had sufficient warnings posted regarding its use, or the owner of the marina (if the jet ski was rented) may not have provided proper instructions.  Any one of these conditions could make it possible that your loved one’s death was in fact not their fault and instead was the result of another person or organization’s negligence.
