A life is more than a paycheck. When a family loses someone they love, they lose companionship, guidance, and the everyday moments that can never be replaced. Yet New York’s wrongful death law often limits recovery to medical expenses and lost income. The Grieving Families Act aims to give families a fuller path to justice by recognizing the real, human impact of their loss.

If you believe New York families should be able to recover for the full loss of a loved one, contact your state senator and assembly member and urge them to support the Grieving Families Act.

New York’s wrongful death statute has remained largely unchanged since 1847. The Grieving Families Act offers an opportunity to bring the law in line with the vast majority of the country and recognize that the value of a life does not equate to a paycheck.

If you believe New York families should be able to recover for the full loss of a loved one, contact your state senator and assembly member and urge them to support the Grieving Families Act.

After a serious medical event, it is completely reasonable for patients and families to ask questions and seek clarity. Taking a calm, informed approach can be especially helpful while the full picture is still coming together.

Patients generally have the right to access their medical records, including the ability to review and obtain copies. New York law also reinforces these rights under Section 18 of the Public Health Law.

Keeping records such as discharge papers, test results, medication details, and follow-up notes can make it easier to understand what happened and what comes next.

For more information about your rights and how to navigate the process, visit www.kernerlaw.com or call 212-964-1098.

Spring in New York can make the roads more unpredictable than many drivers expect. Wet pavement, potholes, longer stopping distances, and heavier foot traffic can all increase the risk of a serious crash.

This time of year is a good reminder to slow down, leave extra space, and stay alert near crosswalks, intersections, and busy parking areas.

A few extra seconds of caution can make a real difference for drivers, passengers, cyclists, and pedestrians.

Personal injury cases often begin with everyday conditions that people underestimate. Staying aware is one of the best ways to protect yourself and the people around you.
