Proving Negligence in Wrongful Death Cases
Negligence means someone acted without the care the law expects. It’s more than just making a mistake—it’s failing to do something that could have prevented harm. When that harm leads to death, the law gives families a way to hold the wrongdoer responsible. That’s where a wrongful death case begins. We help our clients understand what needs to be proven. First, we show that the person who caused the harm had a legal duty. Then we prove they failed to meet that duty, and that failure directly caused the death. It might involve reviewing accident reports, medical records, or witness statements. It might mean working with experts. Every detail matters. Families come to us looking for answers and support. We make it our job to uncover the facts and tell their story in a way that stands up in court. Negligence is the foundation of these cases, and we know how to prove it when it counts.
Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim in New Jersey?
The days and weeks after losing someone unexpectedly can feel like a blur. When clients come to us at Chamlin, Uliano & Walsh, they often don’t know who has the right to file a wrongful death claim—or if anyone does at all. New Jersey law is clear that the lawsuit has to be filed by a legal representative. That person is named in the will, or if no will exists, a court decides who it will be. This representative files the claim for certain family members who depended on the person who passed. Usually, it’s spouses, kids, or parents. Sometimes, it can include siblings or others who had no one else to support them. These laws can be tricky, but we’re here to explain them and help you figure out the next step. We’ve helped many families in your shoes, and we take care of the legal work from start to finish.
What Compensation Can You Claim In a Wrongful Death Lawsuit?
A wrongful death brings more than just grief. It often comes with bills and the loss of a person who held the family together. New Jersey allows families to recover money in a wrongful death claim for these types of losses. It can include income the person would’ve earned, services they provided, and medical or funeral costs. It can also include things that are harder to measure, like the person’s presence, care, and support. These are real losses with real impacts. We take time to understand what the person meant to their family—financially, emotionally, and in everyday life. Then we use the law to fight for the support the family now needs. Our job is to make sure your loss is fully recognized.
