Understanding Your Rights

What Is a Wrongful Death Claim?

A wrongful death claim may arise when a person dies because of another person's, company's, or organization's negligence or wrongful conduct.

While no legal action can undo the loss of a loved one, a wrongful death claim can help surviving family members seek financial compensation for losses connected to the death.

These cases can involve complicated questions about liability, evidence, insurance coverage, damages, and the circumstances surrounding the fatal incident.

Our goal is to help your family understand its options while handling the legal process with the care and attention your situation deserves.

Who May Be Able to File?

Eligibility to pursue a wrongful death claim depends on the circumstances of the death and applicable New Jersey law.

Surviving spouses may have rights arising from the loss.
Children may have potential claims depending on the circumstances.
Parents and other eligible family members may have rights in certain cases.

Frequently Asked Questions

Wrongful Death FAQs

Here are answers to common questions families may have after losing a loved one because of a potentially negligent act.

A wrongful death claim is a legal claim that may arise when a person dies because of another party's negligence, wrongful conduct, or other legally actionable behavior. The exact requirements depend on the circumstances and applicable New Jersey law.

The people who may bring or benefit from a wrongful death claim depend on New Jersey law and the deceased person's family and estate circumstances. Surviving spouses, children, parents, and other parties may have rights in certain situations.

Potential wrongful death cases can arise from motor vehicle crashes, truck accidents, workplace incidents, construction accidents, dangerous products, premises-related incidents, medical negligence, and other circumstances where another party may have legal responsibility.

Depending on the circumstances, compensation may include qualifying medical and funeral expenses, financial losses, loss of support, loss of companionship, and other damages recognized by applicable law. The potential value of a case depends on its specific facts.

Wrongful death claims can be subject to strict legal deadlines. The applicable deadline can depend on the facts, the parties involved, and the legal basis of the claim. Because missing a deadline can seriously affect your rights, it is important to obtain case-specific legal advice promptly.

You do not have to navigate the claims process alone. An attorney may communicate with insurers and other parties on your behalf while investigating the claim and pursuing an appropriate resolution.

Not necessarily. Many civil claims resolve through negotiation or settlement, but litigation may become necessary when the parties cannot reach a fair resolution. The appropriate strategy depends on the evidence and circumstances of your case.

Fee arrangements vary by case and attorney. Many wrongful death attorneys work on a contingency-fee basis, meaning clients generally do not pay attorney fees upfront and the fee is tied to recovery. Ask about the specific fee arrangement for your case.
