Wrongful Death Lawyer
Wrongful death is a death caused as a result of another’s negligent or intentional actions. No matter what the circumstances, the death of a loved one is possibly the most difficult event that one will face in a lifetime. If another party’s negligence or intentional actions was the cause of the death, the tragedy is one of even greater anguish.
A wrongful death may happen in a number of ways including (but not limited to) car accidents, construction accidents, accidents involving premises liability, medical malpractice, assault or defective products. Palermo Law is a Long Island Personal Injury Law Firm dedicated to representing individuals that have lost loved ones because of another’s negligent or intentional conduct.
Beside the emotional trauma there is often a significant financial hardship caused by a wrongful death, especially if the decedent was supporting a family. Economic compensation for a wrongful death includes all medical, nursing and funeral expenses as well as loss of future income or support.
In addition, non-economic compensation can be obtained. This applies to any pain and suffering that occurred to the person before they passed. Factors that contribute to this include the personal injuries before dying, the severity of pain and the duration of suffering.
There are so many emotions present when a loved one dies. Likely you are not immediately thinking about compensation for your losses. However, if a wrongful death does take place, it is important to act as soon as you can. The statute of limitations in New York generally gives you 2 years after the loved one has died to file for court for a wrongful death. In certain instances that time frame may be reduced to as little as 90 days. Therefore, it is imperative to document details immediately and have a lawyer to protect your rights as soon as possible. At Palermo Law, we will take care of your case while you take the time you need to grieve the loss of your loved one.

Trial Ready Strategy
Most personal injury lawsuits are settled out of court at some point before a trial. Many personal injury law firms on Long Island don’t fully prepare their cases for trial when anticipating a settlement. This weakens their position when it comes time to negotiating a settlement. At Palermo Law, we always fully prepare every case as if it is going to trial. This level of preparation gives us the leverage to negotiate the highest possible compensation for our clients and puts us in a strong position should a trial become necessary.

We realize that being really well versed in any one area of law takes focus. Personal injury law is no exception. That’s why our Long Island personal injury lawyers only handle personal injury cases. Steven Palermo, our managing partner, has been exclusively handling personal injury cases for the last two decades.

We do what we do because we love helping people.
