Wrongful Death
New Jersey Attorneys for Wrongful Death Claims
After a fatal accident that resulted in the untimely death of a loved one,
legal action is probably the last thing on your mind. But what if the death was caused by the careless, reckless or even intentional actions of another party? Your emotional and financial losses are real, and they will have a real impact on your life. Shouldn’t you and your family be entitled to compensation from those responsible for the death of your loved one?

About Wrongful Death Lawsuits in New Jersey
There are two types of wrongful death claims a family may make. The first and most common type of wrongful death claim is filed on behalf of victims’ families after fatal accidents. The lawsuit seeks compensation to pay for expenses such as medical bills, property losses, funeral costs and the loss of future expected income.
The second type of claim, known as a survival action, occurs when the victim did not die immediately after being injured. In a survival action lawsuit, the family seeks additional compensation for the pain and suffering endured by the victim after the accident and until the time of death. The compensation is sought on behalf of the deceased and, if compensation is awarded, it becomes part of the deceased person’s estate.
