The Garden State’s wrongful death laws provide justice and fair compensation to families who have lost loved ones in fatal accidents. These laws cover important factors, including:

Each wrongful death claim is unique. Your loved one may have died due to a workplace accident, an automobile accident caused by another driver, a defective product, or medical negligence. Depending on the precise circumstances of your case, various New Jersey laws could apply to your claim.

However, certain laws apply to most wrongful death claims. Among them is the statute of limitations, which generally limits cases to two years from the date of death.
