New Jersey Wrongful Death Lawyers

An "accidental death" is one thing.

Negligence or recklessness that lead to a fatal car accident, a swimming pool drowning, or a deadly house fire are something else.

At a time like this, you need more than just an experienced attorney. You need someone you can depend on as a friend, as a source of support, and as a fierce protector of your rights.

We're right here.

If you have recently lost a family member because of a deadly accident caused by someone else— contact The Law Offices of John S. Hoyt in Morristown, New Jersey, for experience that can make a difference.

At The Law Offices of John S. Hoyt, we offer friendly, compassionate counsel to grieving families in New Jersey and help to guide them through the legal processes involving wrongful death claims and for obtaining compensation for damages such as:

  • Medical expenses and funeral costs
  • Lost wages
  • Loss of expected future income
  • Loss of health benefits
  • Loss of companionship and advice
  • Loss of guidance (children)
  • Conscious pain and suffering of the victim (survival actions)

Wrongful death claims are not easy to handle emotionally. But our experience helps us to do more than just "represent" our clients in court. People and families in the midst of overwhelming grief need a friend in court and an arm around their shoulder so that the legal process does not add to the confusion, stress, and anxiety they already feel.

This—in addition to proven legal representation based on preparation and an aggressive approach—is just some of what we offer.
