How We Help You Through a Wrongful Death Claim
After someone dies in a preventable accident, you may be left feeling helpless. That’s when our team at Chamlin, Uliano & Walsh steps in. We handle wrongful death cases from start to finish. Our attorneys begin by looking into the details of your case. We gather everything from video footage and witness statements to expert reports and accident scene photos. We use all of that to prove that someone else was responsible. From there, we file the legal claim and fight to get you compensation for the loss of income, support, and companionship. We speak with insurance companies so you don’t have to, and if they won’t offer a fair amount, we take them to court. We stand by your side the entire time.
Who’s Responsible in Wrongful Death Cases
To prove a wrongful death claim, we need to show that someone didn’t act the way they were supposed to—and that this failure led to the loss of life. This is called negligence. It doesn’t always mean someone meant to cause harm. Sometimes it’s about bad decisions, like driving too fast in a busy area or failing to fix something dangerous. Other times it’s about not doing something that should’ve been done, like warning people about a hazard or recalling a faulty product. When a person or company fails to act with reasonable care, and someone dies because of it, the law allows the family to take legal action. We help families build that case by collecting facts and proving how the negligence caused the death. Every case is different, so we focus on understanding exactly what happened in each one. We’re here to listen, to investigate, and to make sure the people who caused the harm are held accountable under the law.
Who Has the Right to File a Wrongful Death Claim in New Jersey?
We often get asked, “Can I file a wrongful death lawsuit?” It’s a fair question, and the answer depends on a few things. In New Jersey, the law says that the person filing has to be a personal representative of the person who died. That means either someone named in their will or someone appointed by a court. This person is responsible for filing the claim on behalf of the people who were financially or emotionally dependent on the person who passed. These are usually close family members like a spouse, child, or parent. But if none of those people are around, siblings or even other relatives might be able to recover. At Chamlin, Uliano & Walsh, we look into your situation and explain what’s possible. If you’re unsure whether you qualify, don’t worry—that’s what we’re here for. We listen, ask the right questions, and help you decide what steps to take next.
How Much Compensation Can You Recover from a Wrongful Death Lawsuit?
Funeral expenses, hospital bills, and the loss of income can hit hard after a wrongful death. Families who depended on that person may be left struggling to get by. In New Jersey, a wrongful death claim lets families recover certain damages. These include both financial and emotional losses. A person may have provided childcare, cooked meals, or taken care of loved ones. They may also have been the one who made sure bills were paid and the home ran smoothly. That kind of support matters, and the law takes it seriously. So do we. We speak with families to understand who the person was, what role they played, and how things have changed since the loss. Then we build a case that shows exactly what was taken away and why your family deserves compensation.
