cracked windshield glass fatal accident long beach new york

Fatal car crashes are common on roads and highways across New York. When someone you love dies at the hands of another irresponsible driver, it can be heartbreaking. But as a relative of your loved one, you deserve justice and compensation for your pain. 

Our compassionate team of fatal accident attorneys at Morelli Law Firm can help you get justice for your loved one’s loss. We will hold the negligent parties accountable and get you the compensation you need to cover the essential costs of losing a family member. We offer a free consultation to help you better understand your case and identify all the damages it qualifies for.

What Are Common Causes of Fatal Accidents?

Fatal car accidents can occur in various circumstances. However, a few factors can increase the chances of a fatal car accident. Some things that may increase the chances of a fatal car crash include: 

  • Distracted driving
  • Drinking alcohol or using prescription or non-prescription drugs while driving 
  • Driving when angry or upset
  • Not using a seatbelt
  • Driving an unsafe vehicle
  • Driving at night or in poor visibility

If your loved one died in a car accident for any of these reasons, we can’t imagine the pain you are in. Our fatal car accident lawyers in Long Beach can help you determine if you have a valid case in a free case consultation. We can help you file your claim and start building a strong case so that you can get the compensation you deserve. 

What Factors Affect My Settlement Amount for a Fatal Car Accident?

While there is no average settlement that we can tell you for a fatal car crash, there are several aspects that can affect the amount of money you receive for your wrongful death case. The following factors can determine how much compensation you may receive: 

  • Your loved one’s age at the time of passing
  • The decedent’s future earning potential
  • The medical bills and other bills related to the crash that resulted in their death
  • Insurance policies and limits available 
  • The amount of negligence 
  • Number of negligent parties involved
  • Degree of negligence

The higher the costs of medical bills are and the higher potential earning costs your loved one would have made may result in a higher settlement. Also, if your family member’s fatal car crash was a result of multiple parties’ negligence, you are likely eligible to request damages from multiple people making for a greater settlement. 

Determining how much your settlement is can be difficult on your own, but our Long Beach fatal crash attorneys can help. We’ll take a look at your case and the damages it may qualify for to determine how much your settlement may be. When you contact one of our compassionate lawyers for a free case consultation, we can go over your case’s potential in detail and answer any questions you have.

How Much Time Do I Have to File a Wrongful Death Claim in Long Beach?

When you lose a loved one as a result of a fatal car accident, the state of New York gives you two years to file a wrongful death claim. It’s best to file your wrongful death claim as early as you can so you have a higher chance of winning your case at a higher settlement amount.

However, depending on the details of your case, you may have more or less time to file your wrongful death claim. The only way to know how much time you have to file your claim is to get in touch with a fatal car accident lawyer in Long Beach.

We understand that navigating a wrongful death claim is difficult after you lose someone you love. Our lawyers are here to help in any way we can. We can file the paperwork for your claim, help you gather relevant evidence, and negotiate with insurance adjusters to get you the fair compensation you need to cover essential expenses. 

Contact Morelli Law Firm to Get Justice and Compensation

When you lose someone to a fatal car crash, it can take years to heal from your pain. While money will not heal your heartbreak, a sufficient settlement can provide you relief from any unpaid medical bills and loss of financial support and help you pay for your family member’s funeral. 

At Morelli Law Firm, our Long Beach fatal accident attorneys want you to get the help you deserve. Call us or fill out the contact page on our website to schedule your free case evaluation today.
