We already have statues that compensate families for wrongful death. It’s a horribly written law that would let random cousins, uncles, nephews sue without limitation. And would dramatically increase the costs of litigation for every lawsuit, no matter how frivolous. We’re suddenly going to monetize grief for extended family when someone dies? The only people that would get rich from this are plaintiff’s attorneys.

Who is asking for this exactly?

Grieving families act was a horribly written bill and deserved to fail. It literally let anyone and their mother come out of nowhere and claim the death of their long lost aunt has irreparably harmed them and each of them deserve millions. It didn’t even have a cap on damages.

It would make every business operating in New York uninsurable for no reason.
