Damages Recoverable in a Nassau County Wrongful Death Claim 

When a victim unexpectedly passes away as a result of their injuries sustained in a wrongful death accident, their surviving heirs or a representative of their estate may pursue damages on their behalf due to their inability to obtain compensation on their own behalf.

The following are recoverable damages in a wrongful death claim:

• Funeral expenses, such as burial or cremation services
• Loss of income, if they contributed to the family income
• Medical debt inherited from your loved one
• Property damages
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional losses
• Loss of consortium

Surviving families may recover compensation in the event of their loved ones’ death, but initially, they must have a personal representative file a case on the behalf of the deceased. At Law Office of Cohen & Jaffe, LLP we can provide legal guidance surrounding your wrongful death claim and explain the best legal options moving forward.

Nassau County Wrongful Death Statute of Limitations 

Wrongful death claims in Nassau County must be filed two years after the event by a personal representative on the behalf of a loved one. This timeline begins on the date of their passing, not the date of injury or accident. Neglecting to file before the statute of limitations expires will result in a case dismissal, and you may not recover the maximum compensation and justice you deserve.
