Wrongful Death Attorney in Queens

Simply put, wrongful death is death that could have been avoided had it not been for the negligence, recklessness, or intentional actions of another. 

Wrongful death can result from numerous scenarios, including but not limited to:

• Car accidents caused by negligent drivers
• Medical malpractice, such as misdiagnosis or surgical errors
• Workplace accidents due to unsafe conditions
• Defective products that pose significant risks
• Criminal actions, including assault or homicide
• Nursing home abuse and neglect
• Dangerous property conditions leading to slips and falls
• Construction site accidents
• Aviation or boating accidents
• Exposure to hazardous substances

When it comes to liability, various parties may be held responsible for your loved one’s death. These include:

• Negligent drivers or vehicle manufacturers
• Healthcare providers, including doctors, nurses, and hospitals
• Employers who didn't provide safe working environments
• Manufacturers of defective products
• Property owners with hazardous conditions
• Individuals committing criminal acts

You may be able to recover damages for medical expenses, funeral and burial costs, loss of income and benefits, loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and potentially punitive damages in cases of gross negligence or intentional harm.
