Reports concerning the incident show it occurred on New Jersey Route 42, also known as North Black Horse Pike, near Brookdale Boulevard.

The GMC’s driver, an 84-year-old resident of Hammonton, along with two juveniles, were also injured in the accident. Police confirm the driver of the Ford was arrested and charged with assault by automobile and DWI.

If you lost someone you love in a car crash caused by negligence, you are probably going through a very difficult time. You may be grieving the loss of your family member while you are forced to worry about how you will pay for the costs related to their crash. If you know their accident was the fault of another person, you should speak with a wrongful death attorney in Monroe about recovering compensation. 

Suffering the sudden and wrongful death of someone you love may very well be one of the most difficult things you will ever go through. Allow a reputable and skilled attorney to help you through this trying time by helping you to collect the maximum compensation available for the damages you may have endured. Medical care costs, funeral care, burial costs, and even intangible damages like pain and suffering are eligible for compensation in a wrongful death claim. 

Recovering compensation after the untimely death of a beloved family member can be confusing. In order to obtain the optimal outcome for your case, your lawyer will help you prove the following: 

• Another person/party owed your family member a duty of care
• That duty of care was breached by recklessness, negligence, or carelessness
• The death of your family member was directly caused by the breach of care

Without the help of an attorney, proving these three points may prove to be a difficult task.
