New Jersey has a higher accident rate than the national average when measured against other states in the U.S. The number of crashes per 100 million miles in New Jersey is 359, which is much higher than the average nationwide. Almost anytime can result in an automobile accident, so you need to be prepared for it. A lawyer should be consulted if you or a member of your family is hurt in a car accident to see whether you are eligible for lost compensation.
People’s lives are usually upended emotionally and financially by the loss of a loved one. Making choices for your family’s needs gets difficult when the death is unexpected and the result of an accident. The sense of injustice and sadness can be overpowering when the accident was caused by someone else’s carelessness or malfeasance.
Family members who were financially dependent on the deceased may have cause to file a wrongful death claim in order to recover damages if the deceased died as a result of a careless, negligent, wrongful, or illegal act. The goal of a wrongful death claim is to obtain damages that the deceased would have been entitled to under a personal injury lawsuit had they lived through the occurrence. You must bring a wrongful death lawsuit within two years of the death of your loved one in order to be eligible to receive compensation.
