Secure Compensation for a Wrongful Death in Riverhead

While no monetary compensation can make up for your loss, a wrongful death suit gives your family some financial stability while you rebuild your lives. Damages you can recover are typically limited to economic or monetary losses, such as:

  • Medical bills incurred by your loved one before they passed
  • Income, services, and support your loved one contributed to the household
  • Funeral, cremation, and burial expenses

The damages you could recover can vary depending on your case details. Speak with our Riverhead wrongful death attorneys today to learn which losses you could claim.

Understand Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim in Riverhead

Per EPT § 5.4.1, the estate’s executor or administrator handles all legal and financial matters relating to the estate, including filing wrongful death claims. If your loved one had a will, the executor they named must be approved by the court. You or another family member may already be named in the will. If there is no will, the court will appoint an administrator to handle the legal and financial matters of the estate.

The process can be complicated, and an administrator must be established before the statute of limitations expires. Our team can help you review your loved one’s documents and assist you with complex legal processes. We are here to protect your rights and demand fair compensation for your losses.
