Let Our Family Take Care of Your Family
When you are in the midst of the grieving process for a child or adult, you know that it some point you need answers. You need a lawyer who can handle your wrongful death claim and relieve you of the burden of negotiating with insurers and investigating the accident. If your family has lost someone in an accident, you need a lawyer with experience and success pursuing full financial compensation for surviving family members.
At Smiley & Smiley, LLP, our New York fatal car accident attorneys draw on four decades of litigation experience to represent clients in wrongful death cases. In order to prove damages in wrongful death litigation, it is typically necessary to work with key experts, including:
- Economists, who can accurately assess the value of the future loss of benefits and income
- Investigators, to prove negligence on the part of defendants. At Smiley & Smiley, each of our investigators are former police detectives.
- Medical experts to determine cause of death and to determine whether the deceased suffered from pain or fear during the accident
We are skilled in obtaining compensation for all damages, from lost income to the loss of parental guidance. Please read about two recent cases that illustrate our efficiency and effectiveness:
- We represented three children when their mother was run over and killed by a garbage truck in New York City's Chinatown. Our aggressive representation resulted in a settlement of $1.6 million.
- Our client was crossing a street in Manhattan when a New York City Transit Authority bus made a left turn into the crosswalk, ran over her and killed her. We took immediate action on behalf of her husband and three adult children. In just nine months we recovered a $1.3 million settlement.
