Grieving Families Act is Being Debated in Assembly on June 4th

June 03, 2025 10:59 AM | Anonymous

The Grieving Families Act (Wrongful Death) bill has passed the New York State Senate and will be debated in the Assembly Judiciary Committee tomorrow, June 4th. 

We strongly encourage you to take action by using this form to contact your legislators directly. By utilizing this platform, you can express your opposition to the reintroduced bill and convey the critical importance of preserving a thriving plastic surgery community in New York.

Background

This is a bill that was previously vetoed by Governor Hochul and has resurfaced in the form of a reintroduced bill (S.4423A.6063). This bill seeks to expand damages awarded in wrongful death cases, which could have severe consequences for our healthcare community. It threatens to escalate liability insurance premiums, further burdening our practices and hindering our ability to provide quality care to our patients.

Our collective voice is powerful, and by coming together, we can make an impact. We urge you to act swiftly and contact your legislators today, emphasizing the negative consequences this bill could have on our profession and the patients who depend on us for their healthcare needs.
