What Is Considered a Wrongful Death?

To be considered a “wrongful death,” your loved one’s accident must have involved at least one act of negligence or recklessness. Our Glen Cove wrongful death attorneys have experience with many kinds of accident cases and would consider it a privilege to represent your family if your loved one was the victim of:

A Fatal Motor Vehicle Accident

Most people rely on motor vehicles to get around Glen Cove. This means we all rely on other road users to behave responsibly and obey traffic laws. When a driver’s negligence causes fatal injuries, Friedman & Simon, L.L.P., is available to pursue compensation for our clients based on:
  • Car accidents
  • Motorcycle accidents
  • Truck accidents
  • Pedestrian accidents
  • Bicycle accidents
  • Bus accidents

A Fatal Slip and Fall

Page 9 of a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report shows that 1,759 adults aged 65 and over passed away from fall injuries in New York State in 2023. While fatal falls can occur anywhere, if your loved one fell on someone else’s property, we will determine if the property owner’s negligence contributed to their injuries.

Medical Malpractice in Glen Cove

Whether your loved one’s fatal condition went undiagnosed, their provider prescribed the wrong treatment, or their providers failed to communicate effectively with each other, our medical malpractice attorneys will investigate the circumstances of your loved one’s passing and fight for justice. We could potentially sue a hospital, an individual medical provider, or a combination of parties for medical malpractice.

Nursing Home Abuse in Glen Cove

Our Glen Cove nursing home abuse and neglect lawyers are not afraid to take on the types of large companies that own many nursing homes. We will hold them responsible for any form of neglect or abuse (physical, emotional, sexual, or financial) that caused or contributed to your loved one’s untimely death.

How Our Glen Cove Wrongful Death Lawyers Pursue Compensation

Friedman & Simon, L.L.P., takes on all of the day-to-day legal tasks associated with wrongful death cases while our clients focus on finding a way to move forward. These tasks include:
  • Keeping you updated on your case’s progress and giving you every opportunity to ask questions and seek advice from our legal team.
  • Finding the at-fault party so you know who to target in your claim or lawsuit. If there are multiple liable parties, our legal team might file multiple claims or lawsuits.
  • Speak to other parties on your behalf, including the liable party, the insurance company, and the court. You do not have to deal directly with the at-fault party at any time.
  • Gather evidence that shows the liable party was negligent, that their negligence led to your loved one’s accident, and that your family suffered injuries and losses as a direct result of that accident.
  • Determine your case’s financial value so we know how much you should ask for in a claim or lawsuit—and so we will know if the insurance company tries to pay less than you deserve.
By performing these and other essential tasks, our Glen Cove lawyers could pursue the following types of damages and more:
  • Loss of financial support
  • The deceased’s pain and suffering
  • Final medical bills
  • Funeral bills and other end-of-life expenses
Insurers might try any number of tactics to reduce what they have to pay, even taking your words or social media posts out of context to undermine your claim. When you choose to retain our law firm, we will work to protect you from such tactics. Call Friedman & Simon, L.L.P., today.

Should You File a Wrongful Death Lawsuit?

It is up to you and your family to decide whether taking legal action is right for you. Our wrongful death attorneys in Glen Cove will provide support and advice as you make that decision by:
  • Assessing your case at no cost or obligation
  • Coming to see you on Long Island or in the New York metropolitan area as necessary
  • Explaining your rights, options, and responsibilities under the law
Once you hire us, we will work with you to decide on the most appropriate action in your case. Filing a lawsuit is not necessarily the first step.  If and when you take action against a liable party, we might try filing a claim first. This gives us the chance to negotiate for a pretrial settlement and potentially secure the funds your family needs much more quickly. However, if a lawsuit does become necessary, our attorneys will file all required paperwork and represent you tenaciously in the courtroom. Friedman & Simon, L.L.P., understands that deciding whether or not to take legal action after a wrongful death is not an easy decision. We encourage you to share your concerns with us and allow our legal team to assist your family as you search for the right path forward.
