What Negligence Means in a Wrongful Death Claim
Negligence is a legal way of saying someone didn’t act with care when they should have. In a wrongful death case, that careless behavior has to be connected to the person’s death. That might mean a landlord didn’t fix a broken staircase. Or a doctor missed something important during treatment. It might mean a company failed to take action after learning a product was unsafe. In all these situations, the person or company had a duty to do something differently—and didn’t. That’s what we aim to prove. We show that the person or business didn’t meet the standard of care expected in that situation and that this failure caused someone to die. This isn’t just about pointing fingers. It’s about getting answers and making sure that families don’t carry the weight of someone else’s mistakes. We go through all the details and gather the evidence to support what really happened. The law sets a high bar for proving negligence, but we’re used to meeting it. We’ve helped many families understand what went wrong and why it matters.
Who Can Legally File a Wrongful Death Claim in New Jersey?
If you’ve lost someone due to someone else’s mistake, you may wonder if you’re allowed to file a wrongful death lawsuit. That’s a question we deal with often at Chamlin, Uliano & Walsh. The law in New Jersey says that only certain people can file. It starts with a legal representative, which is usually named in a will or chosen by the court. That person represents the family and files the claim for them. Not everyone in the family can recover damages, though. The law gives that right to people who were financially supported by the person who passed. This often includes spouses, kids, and parents. If none of those people are around, other family members might be able to step in. We take time to figure out who qualifies and help with every step from there. It’s not just about paperwork—it’s about making sure your family’s voice is heard in the legal process.
What Damages Can You Claim In a Wrongful Death Lawsuit?
Medical bills don’t stop after someone dies. Neither do the expenses that come with a funeral or the income that used to help pay the rent. When someone’s death is caused by carelessness or a wrongful act, their family can bring a claim in New Jersey to recover those losses. These claims can also account for lost services, like watching the kids, managing the home, or caring for elderly parents. Families also experience emotional loss—the support, comfort, and advice that’s now gone. We work with families to understand what their loved one provided, both financially and emotionally. Then we help them fight for what the law says they deserve. This process is never easy, but it can make a real difference in what life looks like going forward.
