Excellent professional detail service from beginning to the end. The process was explained to us by Roy and his staff in detail. I was given a updates every month and the process was very smooth. Never had to wait for someone to pick up the phone or “Get back to me.” I recommend this firm for all your needs. Mark C.

Roy and his staff handled my parents’ estate. They were very thorough and professional. Their guidance, kindness and patience were a great help during this difficult time. Crista. B.

Roy, Susan, Matt & staff have delivered great results for me in two separate automobile personal injury matters. [...] J&J scrutinized case details that other lawyers had missed or wrongly deemed inconsequential that ultimately led settlement amounts more than double what was initially offered. You owe it to yourself to contact them for a consult first if your current lawyer is advising a quick settlement. C. Crespo

The entire process was made as simple as possible for me by Eric. I felt I was in good hands. Each step of my legal journey was explained to me clearly by Eric. He always took my phone calls and made me fell like I was an important client of his. Could not ask for more. Michele. P.

I bought a new house and had Roy do my two closings. Both were done in the same day, one in the morning, one in the afternoon. Everything went smooth. Can't say enough nice things about Roy and his staff. Plenty of correspondence back and forth and all was done without any problems. Highly recommend Jaghab, Jaghab & Jaghab. Evan B.

I recently closed on my home, and Roy made the process as easy as possible. They kept me informed and provided me with updates along the way. I cannot recommend them enough! Jaime P.

Definitely who you want to choose for a personal injury case no matter what it is very professional and I was handled like family very informative throughout the whole process Mr. Roy is the man I couldn’t ask for more! Mustafa A.

Roy is the best - was technically sound and extremely hard working. Had a great experience with the entire firm. Highly Recommend! Corey B.

Suffolk County Wrongful Death Lawyer

Dealing with the wrongful death of a loved one can be a difficult time for you and your family. If you’re struggling to overcome your losses and file your lawsuit, speak to a Suffolk County lawyer about your options for recovery.

When your loved one is involved in a deadly accident, it can impact your family and your life for years after the incident. You might feel grief, loss, and frustration that someone else caused so much damage for your family.

If you’ve lost a loved one because someone else was careless with their safety, reach out for guidance from the lawyers at Jaghab, Jaghab & Jaghab, PC. We understand how difficult your loss can be, and your Suffolk County wrongful death lawyer can help you build your claim.

Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim in Suffolk County?

If you’ve lost a loved one, you might first be unsure where to begin with your Suffolk County claim. When someone passes away because of another person’s negligence, they can’t file for their own claim, of course. Instead, New York law narrows down who is eligible to file for those losses.

New York law doesn’t let the family of the deceased file a wrongful death claim. Instead, all wrongful death claims must be handled by the personal representative of the estate. They’ll be responsible for preparing the claim and seeking compensation.

However, that doesn’t mean you and your loved ones can’t recover compensation for this loss. Instead of seeking compensation yourselves, the personal representative is responsible for acting for the whole family. That removes confusion about who’s responsible for filing while still giving the family a chance to recover.

New York Laws on Time Limits

The laws on eligibility to file aren’t the only ones you’ll need to be concerned about when filing a lawsuit for a fatal accident. Instead, make sure you or the personal representative has spoken to a wrongful death lawyer about all the laws affecting your claim.

For example, keep in mind that there are time limits for your claim. If the personal representative doesn’t file a claim in time, that could bar your family from recovering any compensation for your losses.

This time limit isn’t stopped depending on the age of the deceased, either. For example, in many injury claims, the time limit for a case involving a child often doesn’t start until they’re eighteen. However, because the personal representative in a wrongful death claim is an adult, you won’t have that extension to your time limits, which means you’ll need to still act fast.
