In today’s @LongIslandPress, former prosecutor @GaryFalkowitz warns: Gov. Hochul's auto proposals weaken negligence laws & lets corporations escape accountability.

His son Ethan was killed by a drunk/high driver.

New Yorkers should be skeptical of any policy that promises affordability in exchange for rights.

@VW1ckman Almost 3 years… not one attempt to reach out to my family. Overwhelming bipartisan support to sign the Grieving Families act. And yet she rejects it. Over and over again. She’s not a leader…. She’s just a puppet.

[Victoria Wickman @VW1ckman]

When Gov. Kathy Hochul is more concerned about the insurance companies profits than the injured victims. Not surprised.

@SahilBloom In the middle of it now. Excellent and insightful. Thanks for sharing @SahilBloom

[Gary Falkowitz @GaryFalkowitz]

We can’t ignore this issue @GovKathyHochul. Today is Ethan’s 16th birthday. He doesn’t get to celebrate it because of a drunk driver. NY should be on my side. YOU should be on my side. This is not political. It’s moral. It’s clear as day. On behalf of all NY grieving families, I’m begging you. Please lead with common sense. @NYSTLA @VW1ckman @NYDailyNews @nypost @NYSenate @ChrisCuomo @RepJeffries @bradhoylman @cnnbrk @FoxNews @BillAckman @NYSenatorFelder @NYSenateDems @nysenategop @AttorneyCrump @benshapiro

The Grieving Families Act has been vetoed for the third time, blocking families from seeking justice for the wrongful deaths of their loved ones. New Yorkers — like @GaryFalkowitz, who lost his 14-yo son Ethan to a drunk driver — deserve better. https://t.co/OBxmW5W8RZ

[Gary Falkowitz @GaryFalkowitz]

What else can I say or do @GovKathyHochul? This is NOT a political issue. It is a MORAL one. There’s overwhelming bipartisan support! NY grieving families are begging you to fix this injustice. Please stop siding with the insurance companies. My son (Ethan) was killed by a drunk driver. And because of your veto (3 times!), my family has no path to justice. #GrievingFamiliesAct @AttorneyCrump @wolfejosh @nypost @NYDailyNews @BillAckman @elonmusk @NYSTLA @NYSBA @NYLawJournal @megynkelly @MegynKellyShow @hakeemjeffries @SenTedCruz @SenateGOP @SenateDems @jeremyrgeller @SenSchumer @ChrisCuomo @SenGillibrand @NewYorkStateAG @CarlHeastie @AndreaSCousins

🚨 @GaryFalkowitz pens a message to @GovKathyHochul urging her to update NY’s discriminatory wrongful death law in memory of his son, Ethan

[Gary Falkowitz @GaryFalkowitz]

Hi @HeleneWeinstein Thank you for championing the Grieving Families Act. After losing my son to a drunk driver, @GovKathyHochul’s veto is a painful reminder of protecting profits over people. Families need justice, not politics. Let’s work together to make this law a reality.

@GovKathyHochul @TishJames @bradhoylman

On 12/21/24 The #grievingfamiliesact was vetoed for a third time.

In November of 2023, NYU Langone agreed to a confidential $13.25M dollar wrongful death settlement for the same reason 👇

On 9/28/23, a $13.25M Jury Verdict for Medical Malpractice During Cardiac Ablation Causing Stroke, in Wisconsin.

Different states, same settlement, same year, one out of court, one in court, one patient still living, the other deceased. Both patients were the same age. Both cases involve the same manufacturer of the cardiac ablation catheters, by BioSense Webster, a J&JMedTech Company. Except, it's not just two patients.

On 3/6/22, my father wrongful died at NYU Langone due to the same reasons in their cases ☝️.

I reported his death and NYU Langone's Medicare fraud with supporting document evidence, to every NY State Agency and US Federal Agency within the correct jurisdiction, to their correct legally vaild mailing addresses, multiple times from 2022 to 2024.

As of 12/29/24, NYU Langone allows the same physicians to perform the same cardiac ablations, using the same devices by the same manufacturer.

How many more deaths will it take before they are held accountable? Whose father, mother, son, daughter, grandfather, or grandmother is next? How many more wrongful deaths do you need @GovKathyHochul before you will allow me one chance to hold those accountable for my father's tragic and painful wrongful murder in a court of law so justice can be rightfully served?

When considering your stance regarding the reasons for your third veto on the Grieving Families Act, use this post to consider that both hospital and manufacturer proved that you and the GFA bill are just as big of a fraud as they are.

Hi @SquarePegDem. Need your help. @GovKathyHochul’s priorities: Cash for unions, cuts for autistic kids, and a 3rd veto of the Grieving Families Act—denying justice to grieving families. How much more will NY families lose under her leadership?

Hi @WKBW, your coverage of Raelynn Huber’s tragic death underscores the urgent need for the Grieving Families Act. @GovKathyHochul’s repeated vetoes deny families like hers (and mine) the justice we deserve. It’s time to hold her accountable for this heartless inaction!

Hi @NickReisman, your comprehensive coverage of the Grieving Families Act has been instrumental in informing the public. With @GovKathyHochul’s recent veto, families are once again left without recourse for their tragedies. Continued reporting on this issue is crucial for change.
