What Counts As Wrongful Death in Jersey City?
Wrongful death occurs when someone dies due to the negligence, recklessness, or intentional misconduct of another party. This can include incidents like car accidents, medical malpractice, workplace accidents, or product defects that lead to fatalities.
What Are the Benefits of Hiring a Wrongful Death Attorney?
A wrongful death attorney, the right one, for that matter, can help hold the other side accountable for the death of your loved one. They'll gather evidence, review your damages and losses, identify whoever is responsible for the death, create a legal strategy, and then file a claim or lawsuit on your behalf.
What Is the Statute of Limitations on a Wrongful Death Case in New Jersey?
In New Jersey, the statute of limitations for wrongful death cases is usually two years. The statute of limitations "clock" starts counting from the date of the victim's death, not when they got injured or sick.
What Happens if I Miss the Statute of Limitations?
Unfortunately, you'll automatically lose your right to file a wrongful death claim. This applies even if you have a valid case and strong evidence against the other party, which is why it is always advisable to take legal action as soon as possible.
What Damages Can I Claim if My Loved One Is a Victim of a Wrongful Death?
Damages in a wrongful death case can include but are not limited to medical expenses incurred by the victim before succumbing to their injuries or illness that resulted from negligence, funeral and burial costs, loss of financial support the deceased would have provided, and emotional distress. The damages may also include other related losses suffered by surviving family members.
Can I Sue a Hospital for Wrongful Death in Jersey City?
It is possible to sue a hospital for wrongful death if the death resulted from the hospital's negligence, such as medical errors or failure to provide appropriate care. However, such medical malpractice lawsuits usually have a higher burden of proof, requiring the intervention of a skilled attorney.
