Wrongful Death Lawsuits

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul delivers her State of the State address in the Assembly Chamber at the state Capitol, Jan. 10, 2023, in Albany, N.Y. On Monday, Jan. 30, 2023, Hochul vetoed a bill that would have allowed wrongful death lawsuits to include claims for emotional damage, a change that could have led to much bigger payouts for fatal accidents and deadly medical errors.
