Understanding Wrongful Death Claims

In New Jersey, a wrongful death claim is instituted when a person dies due to the negligence or intentional harm of another. These claims allow the deceased's family to seek compensation for their loss, which can include damages for lost income, funeral expenses, and the lost companionship of the deceased. You can learn more about what constitutes a wrongful death claim on our wrongful death claims page.

Understanding your rights and the compensation you may be entitled to is essential. Our attorneys are well-versed in New Jersey law and prepared to advocate for your family's needs.

Common Causes of Wrongful Deaths

Wrongful deaths can arise from various situations, but some common causes include:

• Vehicular Accidents: These often involve cars, trucks, or motorcycles where reckless or impaired driving leads to fatalities.
• Medical Malpractice: Errors by healthcare professionals, including misdiagnosis or surgical mistakes, can result in wrongful death.
• Workplace Accidents: Unsafe work environments can lead to fatal incidents, especially in construction and industrial workplaces.
• Product Liability: Defective or dangerous products can also be responsible.

In any wrongful death scenario, it's critical to engage a knowledgeable Clifton personal injury lawyer to thoroughly investigate the case circumstances.

Filing a Wrongful Death Claim in New Jersey

To initiate a wrongful death claim in New Jersey, the personal representative of the deceased's estate usually files a suit on behalf of the surviving family members. Timing is crucial, as the statute of limitations dictates you typically have two years from the date of death to file a claim. This is why consulting with an experienced attorney early can be vital.
