We Understand What is at Stake

Wrongful death of a loved one is often accompanied by financial losses such as the loss of income, medical benefits, and other benefits. New York’s wrongful death law allows dependent family members to recover damages for the full amount of the future income/earnings that the decedent would earn over his/her lifetime before retirement (typically age 65), including loss of health and pension benefits, retirement benefits, social security benefits, the loss of companionship and parental care and guidance and many other losses. 

These can often add up to millions of dollars in damages, even if the accident victim was someone with a modest income. We utilize expert forensic economists in our wrongful death cases to prove the full amount of our client’s economic losses.

In addition to these financial losses, families are also entitled to recover damages for any pain and suffering that was endured by their loved one in that aftermath of his or her fatal accident.

The Pryor Law Firm works closely with client families in cases covered by New York’s wrongful death law. We can help you deal with immediate problems while developing the right settlement or trial strategy for your situation.
