First, if you’re reading this, chances are a loved one has died— and for that, you have our deepest condolences. Unfortunately, no lawsuit and no amount of money can bring your loved one back for the precious moments of life. Hopefully, over time, memories will offer comfort in times of grief.
It is worth meeting with a personal injury lawyer from O’Cathain Law Group Personal Injury Law Department for a free consultation to see if you should file a Teaneck wrongful death action.
Your lawsuit might help do the following:
Call (848) 306 – 0699 to speak with a dedicated personal injury law paralegal to schedule your free consultation.
The head of our Personal Injury Department, Donny O’Cathain, has years of experience helping clients who have lost a loved one navigate the New Jersey court system and bring justice and honor to the memory of their loved one. Plus, he’s certified as a civil trial attorney by the Supreme Court of New Jersey.
In New Jersey, according to N.J.S.A. 2A:31-1, a wrongful death occurs when the death is caused by a “wrongful act, neglect, or default.”
Whether it’s a car accident due to negligent or distracted driving or a faulty, dangerous railing on an unrepaired front porch, Donny will talk with you about who we’re going to sue and why. He’ll also talk with you and learn the story of your loved one— who they were, what they were like, what they did, and what their hopes and ambitions were.
From this initial consultation, we will determine who we can sue. Oftentimes, it will not just be the people who caused this wrongful death, but their employers as well.
It’s very important that you don’t accept any money or sign anything from anyone, including insurance companies, before you talk to a personal injury lawyer. Donny will fight for the memory of your loved one. In contrast, the priority of the insurance company is simply to quickly and cheaply settle a lawsuit or to avoid a lawsuit altogether.
Your dedicated personal injury paralegal will work with you to acquire any documentation we may need. This may include:
We will then file a civil complaint in Bergen County in the Superior Court of New Jersey and proceed through the lawsuit. Your dedicated personal injury law team will keep you updated throughout the process; we even use 24/7 call services so you can always reach out to us.

Our firm’s motto is Move Forward. We are here to help you build your new life while honoring the life that was lost. Reach out today for guidance on filing a Teaneck wrongful death action.
