FAILURE TO STRICTLY COMPLY WITH THE NOTICE PROVISIONS OF THE COURT OF CLAIMS ACT IN THIS WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM REQUIRED THAT THE CLAIM BE DISMISSED (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department determined claimant’s wrongful death action was properly dismissed because claimant failed to comply with the notice requirements of the Court of Claims Act and commenced the claim before the appointment of an administrator of her son’s estate:

” [B]ecause suits against the State are allowed only by the State’s waiver of sovereign immunity and in derogation of the common law, statutory requirements conditioning suit must be strictly construed'”… . Court of Claims Act § 10(3) provides that a claim to recover damages for personal injuries caused by the negligence of a state employee must be filed within 90 days after the accrual of such claim, unless the claimant within such time serves a written notice of intention to file a claim, in which event the claim must be filed within two years after the accrual of the claim … . Court of Claims Act § 10(2) provides that a wrongful death claim must be filed within 90 days after the appointment of an executor or administrator of a decedent, unless the claimant within such time serves a written notice of intention to file a claim, in which event the claim must be filed within two years after the death of the decedent … .

Here, neither the claim nor the notice of intention to file a claim was filed within 90 days after the accrual of the personal injury claim, and thus, the personal injury claim was not timely. Moreover, since the claim was commenced prior to the claimant’s appointment as administrator of her son’s estate, she failed to comply with the requirements for commencing a wrongful death claim … . The failures to strictly comply with Court of Claims Act § 10(2) and (3) were jurisdictional defects compelling dismissal of the claim … . Kiesow v State of New York, 2018 NY Slip Op 03670, Second Dept 5-23-18
