Pedestrian Crashes in Hunterdon County

Pedestrian accidents happen often in New Jersey. Every year, hundreds of people lose their lives in New Jersey pedestrian accidents. These crashes can occur under several different circumstances. However, negligent driving is the most common cause. Drivers who are fatigued, intoxicated, distracted, and speeding risk their own lives and the lives of everyone whom they encounter on the road at any given time. 

If someone loses their live because of another person’s negligent actions, the surviving family of the decedent may qualify for financial compensation for a plethora of damages. Some of those may include:

• Medical expenses
• Funeral care
• Burial expenses
• Cremation
• Pain
• Suffering
• Lost earnings
• Loss of future earning capacity
• Loss of advice/consortium
• Loss of child care/guidance

Trusting the insurance company to keep your best interests in mind is never wise. Oftentimes, insurance companies are only out to make money, not to protect their customers. Despite the severity of your situation, the insurance company will most likely attempt to get you to settle for less compensation than you need and deserve. If you qualify for financial compensation in a wrongful death case, seeking the help of an experienced wrongful death lawyer is in your best interest.

If you are able to collect compensation to help you pay for the losses and damages you face, you may be able to focus better on healing emotionally and helping your family do the same.
