New Jersey Wrongful Death Compensation

A wrongful death is a death that results from the reckless or negligent act of another. A wrongful death could result from a car accident, an act of medical malpractice or medical negligence, from the use of a defective product, or from a workplace or construction site accident.

At the South Jersey Law Firm of Ronald A. Graziano, P.C., we understand that this is a difficult time for you and your family. A loved one has died tragically and you are now faced with the task of rebuilding your life while grieving. Whether your loved one was the family breadwinner, a family caretaker, or a beloved child, he or she played an important role in the life of your family.

We care about the well-being of grieving families. Our Cherry Hill, New Jersey, wrongful death attorneys have successfully handled many tragic accident fatality cases in our combined 40 years of practicing law. We will do all we can to be responsive to your needs. Contact our law office to speak with an attorney who cares.

One aspect of a wrongful death case is an assessment of the financial impact of this loss on your family (although that is not the only factor that goes into making a wrongful death case). Our role as your legal advocate is to explain to a jury the seriousness of your loss and the many ways in which your life will change.

While a financial settlement cannot address the grief you are suffering, it can help with the medical bills, funeral expenses, and the household assistance that your family member would have provided.

Wrongful Death in the Workplace

The families of workers who die on the job are eligible to receive social security benefits, but beyond that you may have a claim for wrongful death compensation against the employer. If an employee is killed while on the job because of the negligence of his or her employer or a fellow employee, the employee's family may make a claim against the company. The employer or fellow employee must be guilty of "gross negligence" (more than ordinary negligence). Every on-the-job death should be thoroughly evaluated to determine if a claim for gross negligence exists.

The wrongful death lawyers at the Law Firm of Ronald A. Graziano have an outstanding reputation for pursuing financial recovery from all responsible parties. You can see some of the successful cases we’ve handled on our Verdicts and Settlements page.
