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.
