At Brindisi, Murad, Brindisi, Pearlman, Julian & Pertz in upstate New York, we have represented many families who have lost a loved one because of someone else's negligence. Our personal injury lawyers cannot take away the grief, but we can help you with financial and legal matters. For more than 50 years, our clients have counted on us in difficult times.
- We help determine the extent of your losses. If your loved one was a breadwinner, you and your family have lost current and future income. A child may have lost the nurturing and guidance of a parent. A parent may have lost the expectation of having a caregiver in later life. A spouse may have lost companionship and the future the couple had planned together. The family also needs payment for funeral and burial expenses.
- Your loved one's pre-death conscious pain and suffering should be compensated. The last moments, hours and days of life can be painful. Under New York law, surviving family members may receive compensation for conscious pain and suffering.
- We will guide you through the probate process. Whether or not your loved one had a will, you need to begin the process of appointing an executor and taking action on a wrongful death lawsuit.
Sadly, insurance companies try to minimize the value of a life lost in a wrongful death. It is our job as personal injury attorneys to assure your family and your loved one's memory are treated with respect, dignity and fairness.
