What Constitutes a Wrongful Death Case in New Jersey?
Wrongful death occurs when an individual dies due to the negligent, reckless, or intentional actions of another party. Common causes include car crashes, medical malpractice, workplace accidents, defective products, and unsafe premises. If the deceased could have filed a personal injury claim had they survived, their family likely has grounds for a wrongful death lawsuit.
Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim in Middlesex, NJ?
New Jersey law allows the personal representative of the deceased’s estate to file the claim on behalf of eligible survivors. Typically, this includes spouses, children, parents, or, in some cases, siblings or other dependents. Compensation is generally awarded based on financial dependency and relationship to the deceased.
What Compensation Is Available for Wrongful Death?
A wrongful death settlement or verdict may include damages for:
Loss of future income and benefits
Medical expenses related to the final injury
Funeral and burial costs
Loss of companionship, care, and guidance
Emotional pain and suffering (in certain claims through a survivor action)
At ASK Law Firm, we meticulously calculate the full scope of your loss and pursue every dollar your family is entitled to recover.

FAQ
What should I do immediately after a wrongful death?
Preserve any evidence, gather documentation, and speak with an attorney as soon as possible. The earlier you act, the stronger your claim may be. ASK Law Firm offers no-cost consultations to help you understand your options.
How long do I have to file a wrongful death claim in NJ?
New Jersey’s statute of limitations for wrongful death claims is generally two years from the date of death. However, deadlines can vary based on the specifics of your case. Consulting an attorney promptly is critical.
Can I still file if the deceased had no will?
