Wrongful Death Injury Lawyer in East Brunswick, NJ

Losing a loved one due to someone else’s negligence is devastating. The emotional and financial burden can feel overwhelming, and the legal process may seem like an impossible challenge. At ASK Law Firm, we understand the pain you’re facing, and we are here to help you seek justice and financial security for your family.

What Is a Wrongful Death Claim?

A wrongful death claim is a legal action brought when someone dies due to another party’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional misconduct. This could result from car accidents, medical malpractice, workplace accidents, defective products, or other preventable incidents.

In New Jersey, wrongful death claims aim to recover financial losses suffered by the surviving family members, including medical expenses, funeral costs, lost income, and the loss of companionship and support.

Who Can File a Wrongful Death Lawsuit in New Jersey?

Under New Jersey law, only certain individuals can file a wrongful death lawsuit. Typically, the claim must be brought by the executor or administrator of the deceased’s estate on behalf of surviving family members, such as:

• Spouses
• Children
• Parents
• Dependents or others who relied on the deceased for financial support

If no will or estate plan exists, the court may appoint a personal representative to handle the claim.

Common Questions About Wrongful Death Claims

How long do I have to file a wrongful death lawsuit in New Jersey?

New Jersey has a two-year statute of limitations for wrongful death claims, starting from the date of death. Failing to file within this timeframe could result in losing your right to compensation. Some exceptions may apply, so it’s best to speak with an attorney as soon as possible.

What damages can be recovered in a wrongful death claim?

Compensation may include:

• Funeral and burial expenses
• Medical costs related to the deceased’s final injuries or illness
• Loss of income and financial support
• Loss of companionship and emotional support
• The value of household services the deceased provided

Punitive damages are generally not available in New Jersey wrongful death cases, except in cases involving intentional harm.

How do I prove negligence in a wrongful death case?

To succeed in a wrongful death claim, you must prove that:

1. The defendant had a duty of care to the deceased.
2. They breached that duty through negligence or wrongdoing.
3. This breach directly caused the death.
4. The surviving family members suffered financial losses as a result.

Our legal team will gather evidence, consult with experts, and build a strong case on your behalf.
