Wrongful Death Lawyer Yonkers, NY

Wrongful death cases arise when negligence or misconduct leads to a fatal outcome, such as a vehicle collision, unsafe property condition, or defective product. In New York, the personal representative (often an executor or administrator) brings the claim on behalf of the family. These cases commonly include two parts: a wrongful death action addressing economic losses to the family and a survival claim addressing the decedent’s conscious pain and suffering before passing.

Our fatal accident lawyer begins with a measured, thorough investigation. Police reports, scene photos, 911 audio, medical records, and witness statements help establish what happened and who is responsible. When liability is contested, we work with reconstruction and other industry professionals to clarify speed, visibility, product performance, or hazard warnings. The goal of our Yonkers wrongful death lawyer is to present a clear, evidence-based account of the events that led up to death.

Economic damage is another important piece of the puzzle. Our accidental death lawyer documents funeral and burial costs, the loss of financial support, and the value of services the decedent provided at home. For families with children, we consider future milestones and the practical support a parent would have provided. Throughout, we keep communication steady and respectful so you’re never left wondering what comes next.

Insurers may dispute fault or minimize losses, often not wanting to pay out to family members. Our family loss attorney answers with organized proof and a calm, persistent approach. Some cases resolve in settlement; others require filing suit and preparing for trial. From the outset, we structure the claim to be persuasive at the negotiating table and in court if needed. If you’re searching for a Yonkers wrongful death lawyer who will handle your case with care and determination, we’re here to support you.
