Accidents Resulting in Wrongful Death

  • Catastrophic sporting accidents (including diving, skiing, skydiving and football accidents)
  • Collisions between tractor trailers and smaller motor vehicles
  • Massive construction site accidents (including roof collapses, electrocution and overturned construction vehicles)
  • Worksite accidents (such as overturned forklifts)
  • Medical malpractice never events (including the administration of wrong medication or improper blood transfusions)

When a wrongful death occurs, the deceased individual is not the only one who suffers harm.  Surviving family members frequently suffer emotional injuries resulting from the loss of companionship and consortium in addition to a multitude of financial losses related to the deceased’s hospital and medical expenses, loss of earnings and funeral expenses.  Filing a personal injury wrongful death lawsuit against the parties responsible for the wrongful death of a loved one can help surviving family members receive some type of compensation for these unimaginable losses.

New Jersey Wrongful Death Lawyers Assist in Bringing a Wrongful Death Action

Many states, including New Jersey and Pennsylvania, allow surviving family members to file suit against the parties responsible for the wrongful death of their loved one under statutory Wrongful Death Acts.  Wrongful death lawsuits must be filed within a certain period of time after the death, known as the statute of limitations.  In Pennsylvania, wrongful death lawsuits must be filed within two years of the death.

Additional legal issues that frequently accompany wrongful death cases involve the determination of who may bring a wrongful death suit, life expectancy issues, insurance issues and the identification of which parties can be held liable for a wrongful death claim. For example, in Pennsylvania only the spouse, children or parents of a wrongful death victim may bring a wrongful death lawsuit. The first step to ensuring that you receive maximum amount of compensation for your wrongful death claim is to consult an experienced wrongful death attorney who understands all of these unique legal issues.
