What Is a Wrongful Death Claim in New Jersey?

New Jersey Wrongful Death Laws
A successful wrongful death claim must comply with New Jersey’s relevant laws and statutes. Start by understanding who has the right to file a wrongful death claim in New Brunswick. State law reserves this right solely for the personal representative or administrator of the deceased person’s estate. This individual can act on behalf of surviving family members who are eligible to receive compensation, such as a surviving spouse or child.
Another law known as the statute of limitations gives a specific time period in which a wrongful death claim must be filed to be legally valid. Typically, this deadline is two years from the date of the deceased person’s death. However, there are exceptions in special circumstances. There is no statute of limitations for a wrongful death that arises as a result of murder, aggravated murder for manslaughter, for example, if the defendant is convicted.
