Fatal Pedestrian Accidents in New Jersey
Every year, families across New Jersey suffer the sudden loss of loved ones in pedestrian accidents. These tragic incidents often occur at intersections where vehicles and people converge, leaving little margin for error.
Several factors frequently contribute to fatal pedestrian crashes. Distracted driving is a major risk, with drivers taking their eyes off the road for phones, GPS devices, or other distractions. Speeding is another major cause, as higher speeds reduce a driver’s ability to stop in time and increase the severity of impact. Impaired driving, whether due to alcohol or drugs, further heightens danger.
The aftermath of a fatal crash is devastating. Families must deal with funeral costs, lost income, and the emotional toll of losing a loved one.
If you lost a loved one in a pedestrian accident, you may have the right to seek justice. A wrongful death claim can provide financial support for families facing medical bills, funeral costs, and the emotional toll of their loss.
Taking action quickly is important. The sooner you act, the easier it is to gather evidence and build a strong case. It also ensures that you meet important legal deadlines.
Insurance companies may step in early with settlement offers, but these offers are often far less than what families truly need to rebuild their lives.
