What matters in a Brooklyn wrongful death case

A wrongful death case has to prove both sides of the loss: what caused the death and how the death changed the family's financial and daily life. The first step is preserving evidence before defendants, hospitals, property owners, or insurers control the record.

Cause of death proof

Crash files, medical records, autopsy findings, worksite reports, building logs, security video, and witness accounts help show what went wrong.

Estate and family record

The personal representative files the claim. The family should preserve proof of financial support, household services, guidance, medical bills, and funeral costs.

Deadline issues

New York wrongful death cases generally have a two-year deadline. Claims involving NYC, MTA, NYCHA, public hospitals, or public property may require a 90-day notice.

Brooklyn records to collect early

  • NYPD, EMS, hospital, autopsy, OSHA, building, workplace, transit, or incident reports.
  • Video from homes, stores, apartment buildings, worksites, vehicles, dashcams, and security systems.
  • Names of witnesses, supervisors, building staff, treating providers, officers, or anyone present.
  • Estate papers from Surrogate's Court and documents appointing the personal representative.
  • Income, benefits, childcare, caregiving, household services, medical bills, and funeral expenses.
  • Any government or public-entity facts that may trigger a 90-day Notice of Claim.
