Call to Action -Urge Governor to Veto Wrongful Death Liability Expansion

Earlier this year, Governor Hochul vetoed a bill passed by the legislature that would have greatly expanded damages awardable in wrongful death actions and dramatically increased liability insurance premiums.

A new version of this bill (A.6698/S.6636) passed the Senate and Assembly and will be brought to the Governor’s desk. 

This legislation does not address the concerns raised by MSSNY and many other groups, as it would significantly increase the type of awardable damages in New York.

Please contact Governor Hochul today by email and phone and urge that she VETO this bill (A.6698/S.6636).

Call Governor Hochul at 518-474-8390. Press Option 3, then press Option 1 to leave a voicemail or Option 2 to speak with a person.
