Wrongful Death
Losing a loved one is one of life’s most painful experiences, especially when it happens due to someone else’s negligence or misconduct. If your family is grieving the loss of a loved one under circumstances that could have been avoided, you may have the right to pursue a wrongful death lawsuit. At Hacker Murphy, our dedicated attorneys are here to help you seek justice, hold the responsible parties accountable, and secure the financial support your family needs.
What is Considered Wrongful Death?
In New York, wrongful death occurs when an individual’s life is cut short due to the negligent, reckless, or intentional acts of another person, organization, or entity. Wrongful death lawsuits aim to provide grieving families with a sense of justice and compensation for their loss.
A successful wrongful death claim may secure damages for:
- Medical expenses incurred before the loved one’s passing
- Funeral and burial costs
- Financial support the deceased would have provided
Every wrongful death case is unique, and these claims can be complex. Our experienced attorneys are committed to helping you navigate the process with care and professionalism.

In New York, wrongful death lawsuits are subject to a statute of limitations, meaning you must file your claim within a specific timeframe.
