Wrongful Death

New York Wrongful Death and Fatal Accident Attorneys

The loss of a loved one following an accident has devastating effects on families. The emotional pain is only increased by the uncertainty felt when that family member was the primary wage-earner. At Marcus Ollman & Kommer, LLP, in New Rochelle, New York, we have successfully held negligent parties responsible for the death of an individual following a:

• Car Accident
• Truck Accident
• Motorcycle Accident
• Pedestrian Accident
• Premises Liability Accident
• Construction Accident
• Scaffolding Accident

Compassionate Representation for Your Wrongful Death Case

Dealing with wrongful death matters requires compassion and sensitivity. Knowledge of the law and experience is helpful to our clients as well. Nothing can replace the loss of a loved one, but we will work hard to ensure that they receive the compensation they deserve.

While challenging, we will attempt to get to the facts of your case. Many times, we see clients who are still grieving and suffering the emotional trauma of a loved one's loss. Emotions run high, which makes information difficult to secure. We are careful and understanding with those clients.

Managing Your Wrongful Death Case and Determining Your Damages

Once liability is established, the extent of the damages must be determined. The complexity of that aspect of the case requires experience. Families have been financially ruined following the death of a relative. At Marcus Ollman & Kommer, LLP, we have experience in determining the extent of the financial loss that a family has suffered. We establish the past financial contributions if they were working on an hourly basis or had a salaried position. Social Security Disability Insurance may be a factor if the deceased was retired.

After getting the information, we work with actuaries and economists to assign a value to every aspect of the loss, past and future. The person who suffered the wrongful death may have lived for a while but experienced great pain and suffering. That has value as well. Medical testimony and autopsy information will be required and EMS professionals, police officers, and witnesses will be interviewed.
