WRONGFUL DEATH
The death of a loved one creates a devastating time for the
family. The agony of the loss is compounded when death is caused
by the wrongful acts of another. Not only is there the mental
anguish understandably associated with the wrongful death, but
there are often medical or hospital expenses and funeral expenses
which must be addressed, as well as the loss of financial support
by the decedent.
New Jersey has statutes that deal specifically with establishing
compensation for wrongful death. These statutes identify
who can bring a claim for wrongful death, survivors who can be
compensated when there is a wrongful death, and establish the
damages that are recoverable. New Jersey also provides a shortened
Statute of Limitations for wrongful death claims, requiring these
claims must be brought within two years of the death.
