Kathy Hochul has vetoed a bill that would allow surviving family members of the deceased to file wrongful death lawsuits seeking damages for their emotional loss. On Thursday, as the governor received a newer version of the proposed Grieving Families Act, a Buffalo attorney representing victims of the May 14, 2022, racist massacre at Tops Markets on Jefferson Avenue urged her to sign the legislation. Attorney John Elmore, who represents three of the families who lost loved ones in the Tops massacre. “It’s unfortunate that she hasn’t signed it,” the attorney, John Elmore, told The Buffalo News in a phone interview. “She’s publicly expressed concerns for the victims of May 14, but by signing this bill, she would be signing a bill showing that she would be doing exactly what the people that elected her to office expect her to do.” Elmore added: “Does the governor represent the interests of the lobbyists, or the people who elected her to office? Whether she signs this bill or not will determine that.” Forty-eight states allow wrongful death litigants to seek damages for emotional loss. The exceptions are Alabama and New York. New York’s wrongful death statute dates to 1847, well before the Civil War, Elmore said. Gov. Kathy Hochul and the Legislature appeared unlikely to reach a compromise on a bill to allow families that have lost a loved one due to misconduct to sue for “emotional” losses. Among proponents were families of the 10 victims of the racist mass shooting at a Buffalo Tops. Elmore represents the families of Katherine “Kat” Massey, 72; Andre Mackniel, 53; and Heyward Patterson, 67, all of whom were murdered in the shooting, and Latisha Rogers, an assistant office manager at the supermarket who survived the carnage after dialing 911 while hiding behind a customer service counter. They filed suit in State Supreme Court against social media companies, among others, for their reported roles in the radicalization of Payton Gendron, the white supremacist gunman who killed 10 Black people and wounded three others. Gendron, now 21, is serving life in prison without parole for murder and attempted murder. He faces the possibility of the death penalty under a pending federal case charging him with hate crimes that resulted in death. Under current New York civil law, litigants can only be compensated for conscious pain and suffering and economic loss. It leaves families of victims who were killed instantly and who did not incur medical costs unable to sue for damages, Elmore said. The bill, first introduced in 1994, is sponsored by Assembly Member Helene Weinstein, D-Brooklyn, and Sen. Brad Hoylman-Sigal, D-Manhattan. Their memo of support for the bill recalled that the victims of the notorious 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire in New York City, which killed 146 workers, received all of $75 in damages. The bill passed both houses in 2022 and 2023, only to be vetoed by the governor. Hochul rejected the proposal while signaling support for a change in the wrongful death law – just not the one in the bill that lawmakers passed. As Tuesday’s second anniversary of the mass shooting approaches, some community members wonder when the promised investment will pay off for people who live and work here. “While well-intentioned, that bill represented a foundational shift in New York’s wrongful death jurisprudence and would have likely resulted in significant unintended consequences,” Hochul stated. “I attempted to work in good faith with the Legislature to amend the bill, and as the deadline approached, I publicly laid out clear criteria for the appropriate changes. After robust negotiations with the Legislature were not able to produce a satisfactory compromise, I was constrained to veto that bill.” The latest bill differs from previous versions because it narrowly defines surviving close family members, and also would allow the “finder of fact” in these cases to determine who is eligible for damages, based on the specific circumstances of their relationship to the deceased. Asked for her view of the most recent bill, Hochul spokesperson Nicolette Simmonds said: “Governor Hochul is reviewing the legislation.” In a statement, the Healthcare Association of New York State, which represents nonprofit and public hospitals and other facilities, urged Hochul to veto the legislation, suggesting it would lead to high malpractice costs, health care workforce shortages and patient access limitations. On June 4, the legislation passed the Assembly 124 to 22. Among western New York’s delegation, Assembly Majority Leader Crystal Peoples-Stokes, D-Buffalo, and Assembly Members Karen McMahon, D-Williamsville; Jonathan Rivera, D-Buffalo; Patrick Burke, D-Orchard Park; William Conrad, D-Tonawanda; Joseph Giglio, R-Gowanda; Michael Norris, R-Lockport; Angelo Morinello, R-Niagara Falls; and Monica Wallace, D-Lancaster, all voted for the bill. Assembly Members David DiPietro, R-East Aurora; Andrew Goodell, R-Jamestown; Marjorie Byrnes, R-Caledonia; and Stephen Hawley, R-Batavia, voted against it. On June 5, the Senate passed the bill 51-8. Senate Minority Leader Robert Ortt, R-North Tonawanda; and Sens. Sean Ryan, D-Buffalo; Patrick Gallivan, R-Elma; Thomas O’Mara, R-Big Flats; Pamela Helming, R-Canandaigua, all voted for the bill. Sen. George Borrello, R-Silver Bay, voted against it. Get Government & Politics updates in your inbox!
