New Jersey Wrongful Death Attorney

The loss of a loved one is tragic under almost any circumstance. However, losing a family member to an on-the-job injury can be particularly devastating. Unfortunately, the families of those who work in dangerous professions such as construction are all too familiar with this type of loss. In some cases, however, the families of workers who are killed on the job may be able to pursue financial compensation in the form of a wrongful death lawsuit.

If you or someone you know has lost a loved one to a construction accident, you may be entitled to compensation for the suffering you’ve had to endure. Contact the New Jersey wrongful death lawyers of Levinson Axelrod, P.A., today at 800-346-5529 to discuss the details of your situation with an experienced, compassionate member of our legal team.

Wrongful Death Compensation

The loss of a family member can have a devastating impact on a family, both emotionally and financially. For this reason, most states have laws allowing the families of those whose death was caused by another person’s negligent or reckless action to seek compensation. The following are some of the forms of financial assistance that may be provided:

  • Reimbursement for medical expenses
  • Compensation for lost income
  • Reimbursement for emotional trauma
  • Punitive damages if the cause of death was criminal

While these cannot truly compensate for the loss of a loved one, they can be a vital form of assistance to families during this difficult time.
