Life-Altering Injuries. Irreplaceable Loss. We're With You.
Some injuries change everything. A traumatic brain injury may impair memory, motor function, or speech. A spinal cord injury can mean partial or total paralysis. Severe burns, amputations, and other catastrophic injuries often require extensive surgeries, long-term care, and major life adjustments.
In the most tragic cases, families lose a loved one due to someone else's negligence. When that happens, you may have a wrongful death claim under New Jersey law. These cases require not only legal skill-but also real compassion.

What Is a Wrongful Death Claim in New Jersey?
If someone dies as a result of negligence-such as in a car accident, workplace incident, or unsafe premises-the surviving family may have the right to bring a wrongful death lawsuit. These claims are typically brought by the personal representative of the deceased's estate on behalf of the surviving relatives.
In New Jersey:
- The statute of limitations for wrongful death claims is typically two years from the date of death
- Punitive damages are not usually available unless the death involved egregious misconduct (e.g., criminal homicide)
- Recoverable damages include loss of financial support, funeral costs, medical bills, and loss of companionship
