Brooklyn, New York Fatal Accident Attorney
You lose the right to file a wrongful death claim if you fail to file before the New York statute of limitations runs out.
If you have lost a loved one in a fatal accident or in an assault you may have a claim for wrongful death. Attorney Daniel A. Kalish understands you are grieving and emotionally drained, however, it is critical that you speak with a lawyer as soon after the incident as possible.
In order to preserve your right to a claim and build the strongest case possible, the claim needs to be filed by a strict deadline, and statements and evidence should be collected while fresh. As a first step, a representative for the estate needs to be appointed by the court.
Mr. Kalish has over 20 years of experience in claims and lawsuits for personal injury and wrongful death. If you would like to speak with him, contact our office in White Plains, New York and schedule a free consultation.
