Helping Families Across Long Island, NYC & Westchester

Lost a Loved One Due to Negligence?

Losing someone unexpectedly is heartbreaking. When it happens because of another’s negligence, the pain is compounded by questions, confusion, and often, injustice. We’re here to help you find clarity — and take action when it matters most.

You Deserve Answers — and a Legal Team That Cares

No amount of money can make up for the loss of someone you love. But when that loss is caused by negligence — whether in a crash, on a job site, or due to unsafe property conditions — New York law gives families the right to seek justice. At Dallas Law, we walk beside grieving families through some of the hardest moments of their lives, providing compassionate support and a clear path forward.



We know how overwhelming this process can feel. That’s why we take the time to explain everything, answer every question, and build a case designed not just to win compensation — but to give your family some measure of accountability and peace. If you’ve lost a loved one due to a fatal accident, we’ll help you understand your options and fight for the justice they deserve.

Common Questions About Wrongful Death Claims

 You shouldn’t have to navigate this alone — here are answers to help you begin.

  • Who can file a wrongful death lawsuit in New York?

    In most cases, a personal representative of the deceased’s estate must bring the claim — but it’s done on behalf of the family and dependents.

  • How long do I have to file a wrongful death claim in NYC or Long Island?

     In New York, the statute of limitations for most personal injury cases is three years — but the sooner you act, the better. Evidence can disappear quickly, so contacting a lawyer early is always a smart move.


  • What compensation can we pursue in a wrongful death case?

    You may be able to recover damages for funeral and burial expenses, medical bills, lost financial support, and the pain and suffering of your loved one before death.

  • What if the person responsible is also facing criminal charges?

    You may be entitled to medical costs, surgery, therapy, lost wages, pain and suffering, and long-term psychological care.

  • Do I need a lawyer for a wrongful death case in Westchester?

     Absolutely. These cases involve high legal standards and emotional complexity. A lawyer helps ensure your case is handled with care and your family is protected throughout.
