Grandfather New York State bill (2020 number) S.4006 (Hoylman)-A.5612 (Weinstein) Title: "An act to amend the estates, powers an trusts law, in relation to payment and distribution of damages in wrongful death actions" into law, and name it "Sy's Law".
Why is this important?
New York State's current Wrongful Death Statute is contrary to public policy. We do not have equal protection under the current law. This bill has been in Albany since 1994. The New York State government has been Derelict in it's Duty to deter negligent, reckless, sometimes criminal behavior that leads to needless deaths. This bill would acknowledge that the families of wrongful death victims experience emotional anguish.
