Understanding Wrongful Death Settlements in New Jersey
New Jersey Wrongful Death Law
New Jersey's Wrongful Death Act allows surviving family members to recover damages for the death of a loved one caused by another's negligence or intentional act. Only certain family members can file a claim, typically spouses, children, or parents.
Types of Recoverable Damages
Damages include lost income the deceased would have earned, funeral and burial expenses, medical bills before death, loss of companionship, and in some cases, conscious pain and suffering before death.
Who Can File a Claim
In New Jersey, the personal representative of the estate typically files the claim on behalf of surviving family members. Spouses, children, and parents are the primary beneficiaries, with specific rules for distribution.
Statute of Limitations
Wrongful death claims in New Jersey must be filed within two years of the death. In cases involving medical malpractice, the timeline may be different. It's crucial to act quickly to preserve your rights.
