New Jersey Wrongful Death Attorneys
The term "wrongful death" refers to an area of the law covering any person's preventable death due to an accident, negligence, malpractice, faulty product or any other avoidable reason.
New Jersey wrongful death lawsuits allow the surviving family members and others to recover damages due to the death of their loved one. These damages often pay for medical bills, funeral expenses, loss of work or wages (including future estimated losses), pain and suffering and much more. If your loved one was killed in New Jersey and you believe it was at the fault of another please contact our law firm for a free consultation.
New Jersey laws are particularly complicated and stringent when it comes to wrongful death cases. It is important to contact us as soon after the incident as possible. This allows our law firm to fully investigate the death and file all necessary paperwork within New Jersey’s statutes of limitations. If your case involves the government or a branch of the government then your time limits may be even shorter. Contact Lependorf & Silverstein for a free consultation today.
Our law firm, located in Princeton, has handled New Jersey wrongful death cases for years. We offer free consultations to anyone suffering from the death of a loved one. Wrongful death cases are usually very involved and as such we handle them for a contingent fee only in most cases. The contingent fee is a preset amount of a successfully won award. Our clients do not pay us these fees unless we win their case for them and they only pay us at the conclusion of their case. This means we can begin working on your case as soon as you contact us without any upfront expense to you.
Each wrongful death case is invariably unique and involves potentially thousands of elements that must be thoroughly examined. Our law office has the capability to undertake any investigation into a New Jersey wrongful death. Our investigations will likely include our own private investigators, medical and scientific experts and other key individuals who can help you recover the maximum amount of damages owed to you and your family. We will handle every aspect of your case including all communication to other parties involved. We are professional and aggressive attorneys with extensive case histories throughout New Jersey.
The two most important things you must do if you suspect a wrongful death is to speak with a qualified Princeton wrongful death attorney as soon after the incident as possible and avoid signing any documents or agreeing to any settlement without legal representation. Lependorf & Silverstein have helped our clients file all the necessary paperwork and legal documentation and have successfully awarded our clients settlements that were much higher than initial offers.
