No hay nada que los traiga de vuelta. Pero no deberías cargar solo con el peso financiero de la negligencia de otra persona. La ley de muerte por negligencia de Nueva York compensa a la familia por la pérdida pecuniaria; una acción de supervivencia (NY's survival-action statute) compensa al patrimonio por el dolor y sufrimiento consciente del fallecido antes de morir.

We coordinate the EPTL claim (family pecuniary loss) and the survival claim (estate pain-and-suffering) and negociamos against the responsible party's insurer.
Wrongful-death cases require an estate to be opened in Surrogate's Court and a personal representative appointed before suit can be filed. We coordinate that with estate counsel and file in Supreme Court.
Cada caso es distinto. Los daños recuperables dependen de tus lesiones, el seguro disponible, y los hechos de tu caso.
NY wrongful-death claims must be filed within 2 years of the date of death . A survival action for the decedent's pre-death dolor y sufrimiento follows the underlying-tort SOL (typically 3 years for negligence; 2.5 years for medical malpractice). City of NY defendants: 90-day notice of claim.
NY recognizes two distinct claims after a muerte por negligencia: the The wrongful-death action belongs to the family for THEIR pecuniary loss; the survival action belongs to the ESTATE for the decedent's conscious pre-death suffering. Both are usually pursued together.
Suit cannot be filed by a family member directly — only by the estate's personal representative (executor or administrator) appointed by Surrogate's Court. We work with estate counsel to get letters of appointment quickly so the SOL doesn't run.
