Wrongful Death and Loss of Consortium
If you lost a loved one in a motor vehicle collision, you could recover damages through a wrongful death claim. A wrongful death lawsuit is typically brought by the deceased person’s personal representative or executor. It allows the estate to recover funeral costs, lost household income, and medical bills incurred by the deceased person before they passed.
If you are the spouse of the wrongful death victim, you could also sue for loss of consortium, which includes loss of companionship, services, and support, among other damages.
Speak with our team to find out whether a wrongful death or loss of consortium claim may apply to your situation. We are here 24/7 to help you understand your legal rights.

Statute of Limitations for a Car Accident Case in New York
Generally, car crash injury victims have approximately three years to file a lawsuit to recover compensation, per CVP § 214. This time limit can be less, and some insurers require accidents to be reported right away. Don’t risk losing the chance for compensation – contact Trantolo & Trantolo, LLC right away to begin the legal process.
How We Prove Fault for an Auto Collision Claim
When we investigate an accident, we look for evidence that proves the other party caused the collision through careless or reckless behavior. Proving fault may require videos or photos of the accident, witness testimony, and expert accident reconstruction.
We have the resources and knowledge to establish fault and show how the other person’s negligent actions led to your accident and injuries. Negligence in car accidents may look like:
- Risky driving, which includes speeding or driving too fast for road conditions
- Tailgating, passing illegally, or cutting people off
- Driving while distracted by a cell phone or navigation equipment
- Inattention or disregard for safe driving laws
- Failure to obey traffic signs and signals
- Drunk driving or driving under the influence of drugs
- Fatigued or drowsy driving
We use the available information to explain that your injuries and associated losses occurred as a result of the at-fault party’s behavior. Our team is familiar with New York’s negligence and liability laws and evidence requirements. We will use all our resources to fight for the best possible outcome for your claim.
