Re: legal question

I have been traveling, but would be happy to discuss this matter with you if you would like. The short answer is yes your family member may have a claim and it likely must be filed in NY but there are some variables which might allow suit in FL. If it has to be filed in NY i can help you find someone reputable there to help you. Feel free to contact me and im sorry to hear about what you and your family are going through.

Re: legal question

Your family member needs a lawyer in New York. The lawsuit has to be brought in New York. Please feel free to contact me if I can be of assistance.

Re: legal question

I answered this already. You need a New York lawyer. In Florida, the answer to your question is "no."

Re: legal question

Your grandparent would have to bring a claim in New York. If he or she is incapacitated, or passes away, then the court would appoint a representative to sue on his or her behalf. You may have rights under New York law to make a claim personally. you probably would not have any right to do so under Florida law. We would be happy to speak to you about the case, and could help you find a competent lawyer in New York State to handle your case.

Re: legal question

Wow, it looks like you've received plenty of responses. First of all, I offer my condolences to you and your family for the emotional toll this must be taking on all of you. There is no means for you to handle this matter from Florida; therefore, the most important thing for you to do is to select the right attorney or law firm.

My office is associated with Wingate, Russotti & Shapiro. I have dealt with dozens of personal injury law firms in New York and I only refer cases to Wingate, Russotti & Shapiro because they are one of the very few firms that take their clients' calls and treat their clients with respect and courtesy at all times.

Please visit WRSLaw.com to learn more about the firm and let me know if I can provide an introduction for you.
