Frequently Asked Questions About Wrongful Death Claims
How long do I have to file a wrongful death claim in New Jersey?
In New Jersey, the statute of limitations for filing a wrongful death claim is generally two years from the date of the deceased’s death. However, this time frame can vary based on specific circumstances surrounding the case. It is important to consult with an attorney as soon as possible to ensure your claim is filed within these legal time limits.
What types of compensation are available in a wrongful death case?
Compensation in a wrongful death case can include medical expenses incurred prior to death, funeral and burial costs, lost income and benefits, loss of companionship, and pain and suffering of the deceased before they passed away. Our team works to cover all potential areas of compensation to maximize the relief provided to your family.
How does ASK Law Firm LLC charge for wrongful death cases?
We work on a contingency fee basis, which means our fees are contingent upon the outcome of your case. You will not owe us anything unless we achieve a recovery for you. This approach allows you to seek justice for your loved one without the added worry of upfront legal fees.
Can I file a wrongful death claim if the deceased never held a job?
Yes, you can still file a wrongful death claim even if the deceased was not employed. Compensation can be sought for non-economic contributions the deceased made to the family, such as care and companionship.
