New Jersey Job Fatality Lawyers
Wrongful Death While on the Job
If a loved one has died while working in New Jersey your family may have rights. These rights and potential monetary damages can be obtained through legal channels even if worker's compensation or other insurance damages have already been paid to your family. Because the laws surrounding deaths while on the job are extremely complicated in New Jersey it is recommended that your family speak with an experienced lawyer before attempting to settle the case on your own.
The number of laws surrounding deaths while on the job in New Jersey is quite large. Wrongful death cases have occurred due to a failure to properly train employees, failure to adhere to safety standards while at work, failing to provide adequate safety equipment and training and many others. In some cases the death may have been caused by exposure to dangerous chemicals that can take years to cause problems. Other cases of wrongful deaths while on the job occur immediately and from very direct causes.
It is important for the family of the victim to contact a New Jersey wrongful death lawyer at our firm for a free consultation as soon after the incident as possible. Time limits in New Jersey state that families cannot file suits regarding wrongful deaths past a certain number of years. Unscrupulous companies, their insurance providers and their lawyers also frequently try to coerce families to alleviate them of any wrongdoing or settle before an independent investigation can take place.
