Our Atlantic City Accident Lawyers Want Justice for Wrongful Death

Any serious accident can be a painful and difficult experience. Nothing can prepare you, however, for the pain you suffer when a loved one dies because of someone else’s negligence. Whether by car accident, medical malpractice or some other catastrophe, negligently caused deaths hurt all the more because they are sudden and preventable. Many people believe that because the accident victim is deceased, the negligent party has no one to answer to; but the truth is that New Jersey wrongful death laws provide family members with the ability to obtain compensation for the financial and emotional impact of an accidental death. The mental anguish of losing a spouse, parent or child can haunt you for years. Not only will you have to deal with your grief, but you may also lose financial support that your deceased family member provided before his untimely demise.

Atlantic City accident attorneys Donald G. Targan and Michael J. Pender have over 60 years of combined experience representing the grieving families of fatal accident victims. Donald G. Targan and Michael J. Pender have a strong understanding of New Jersey’s wrongful death laws, and they can help you determine if you have a cause of action. The law firm of Targan & Pender, P.C. can investigate the accident, find out if the accident was a result of negligence and help you get monetary compensation for the loss of your family member.

Some of Targan & Pender, P.C.’s successful wrongful death recoveries include:

• An $8.8 million verdict for the family of a concrete company worker who died when a defectively-straddled crane rolled over him, inflicting terrible degloving injuries. After surviving for a short while in the hospital, the worker died. After a two-week trial, the jury found in favor of the worker’s family against the worker’s employer and the crane manufacturer.
• A $1.2 million wrongful death settlement for the husband and son of a woman who died when the car in which she was a passenger struck a concrete barrier on the Atlantic City Expressway. The construction company negligently failed to give proper warning of a narrowing road. The husband and child were in the vehicle and witnessed her death.

• An $850,000 Atlantic City jury verdict for delayed diagnosis of cancer and wrongful death. The deceased’s doctors negligently failed to diagnose stomach cancer, and the delay allowed the cancer to advance and ruined any chance of survival. Targan & Pender, P.C. successfully litigated this matter all the way to the New Jersey Supreme Court.

New Jersey law allows the spouses, parents and children of deceased accident victims to recover economic damages as well as emotional pain and suffering.  If you have lost a family member because of another person’s or a company’s negligence, contact the Atlantic City accident lawyers at Targan & Pender, P.C. for a free consultation.
