Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim in New Jersey?

Under New Jersey’s Wrongful Death Act, an action must be filed by the personal representative of the deceased’s estate on behalf of the surviving dependents. Eligible survivors typically include a surviving spouse, children, and in some cases parents or siblings who were financially dependent on the deceased. Cellino Law will identify all eligible claimants and ensure every family member’s interests are represented.

What Compensation Is Available in a New Jersey Wrongful Death Case?

New Jersey’s Wrongful Death Act provides recovery for the economic losses sustained by the deceased’s survivors, including:

• Lost financial support the deceased would have provided over their expected working life
• Loss of household services the deceased contributed
• Medical and funeral expenses
• Loss of guidance, advice, and counsel for surviving children

New Jersey also allows a separate Survival Act claim on behalf of the deceased’s estate for pain and suffering experienced between the injury and death, and for the deceased’s own economic losses.
