Death
Although no amount of money can compensate a family for the loss of a loved one, New York law recognizes the loss to the family members and provides redress to protect the spouse, children and parents of the deceased. To help the family, damages may be awarded for, among other things, loss of support, loss of services and loss of society. In our civil justice system, the law demands that anyone responsible for causing the death of another be legally responsible to assist the remaining family members. |
