Unfortunately, the law in New York does not permit a person to recover for the emotional pain suffered due to the death of a loved one. However, there can be recovery for the pain and suffering the deceased endured before his or her death. Unless the legislature changes the law in this state, there may only be recovery in wrongful death actions for losses such as lost income, lost services and the loss to a child of parental care and guidance.  more
