New York State strictly limits the types of damages recoverable in wrongful death cases. Thus, careful attention is paid by our New York wrongful death attorneys when proving recoverable losses. These recoverable damages include pre-death conscious pain and suffering and "economic" damages. Economic damages are not limited to actual financial loss. For example, a child's loss of parental moral, intellectual, physical training and guidance is deemed to have an economic value.

A case in which a laborer plunged to his death after a scaffold tipped is an example of a wrongful death case.
