Understanding NJ Wrongful Death Law

Wrongful death is defined as the loss of a person’s life due to a willful or negligent act by another party. The “wrongful” act may have been committed by an individual, such as a reckless driver or an organization, such as an employer, business, pharmaceutical company, or government entity. A wrongful death claim is made by the surviving family or loved ones of the deceased, who have lost the financial and emotional support of the victim. These claims can be made by the victim’s spouse, children, parents, grandchildren, brothers and sisters, nieces and nephews, or grandparents. The circumstances of each case will determine the appropriate party to file the claim, but typically, wrongful death actions are brought by those most affected financially and personally by the loss (i.e. the spouse or children).
In New Jersey, the statute of limitations for a wrongful death claim is two years from the date of the incident. This means that if you fail to meet this deadline, it is highly unlikely that you will ever have the opportunity to seek justice for the loss of your loved one. With this in mind, it is critical to speak with an experienced New Jersey wrongful death attorney as soon as possible.
