Wrongful Death Lawyers

Have You Lost Someone Close to You to a Wrongful Death?

Contact Us. We can help.

Frier & Levitt has extensive experience handling all types of serious personal injury cases, including wrongful death cases.

An unexpected death is very hard on the deceased's surviving loved ones, and it is one of the most stressful and emotionally painful events a person can endure in his or her lifetime.

If the death was avoidable, caused by someone else's negligence or intentional act, it's tragic.

If you lost a family member because of the carelessness or intentional act of another person or company, you may have a case for wrongful death. You deserve to be compensated for your suffering and your loss, but the statute of limitations limits the amount of time you have to file your case.

Example of Wrongful Death - $1,500,000.00
In October 2001, a Frier & Levitt client was tragically killed by a defective truck manufactured by a Japanese company. We aggressively commenced suit days after the accident, arguing to the Assignment Judge that we needed to take immediate possession of the defective truck. Agreeing that the defendants or some other party might alter the truck from its defective condition, the Assignment Judge ordered that the defective truck be held at a police station until further Order of the Court.

After 15 months of complex product liability litigation pending in New Jersey, the Japanese truck manufacturer and its United States distributor agreed to pay the surviving spouse One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000.00).

Can a small, dedicated and aggressive law firm take on a corporate giant such as a Japanese Truck manufacturer that is represented by one of New Jersey’s largest law firms?

In a word, "yes."
