Wrongful Death in New Jersey and New York
Our experienced legal team has handled a wide range of wrongful death cases, including motor vehicle accidents, dangerous machinery or defective products, medical malpractice and nursing home negligence.
A wrongful death suit is brought on behalf of the spouse, children or parents by the executor/administrator to recover damages for the survivors:
- Pain and suffering
- The loss of the person's income
- Hospital, funeral and burial expenses
- Loss of the person's companionship, consortium, services and support
In a separate survivorship action, the estate can seek damages for pain and suffering the deceased endured prior to death. A survivor who actually witnessed the death could also sue for emotional trauma.
