Frequently Asked Questions

Q: My wife was killed in a Long Island drunk driving accident.  Can I sue the other driver?

A: Sorry to hear about your tragic loss.  When a loved one is killed in a New York drunk driving accident, you often can pursue a wrongful death lawsuit.

A wrongful death lawsuit is different than other types of personal injury claims in that it involves the family members or dependants left behind.  During a New York wrongful death suit, you would have to show that your wife’s death was the result of the defendant’s negligent actions.

This type of claim can be filed by a surviving spouse, children or other dependants.  A successful case would entitle you to monetary damages, such as funeral expenses, loss of future earnings, medical bills, physical pain and mental suffering.

Contact a New York wrongful death lawyer from our office at 800.734.9445 for more information.
