Wrongful Death

  • Father And Daughter — Marlton, NJ — Jarve Kaplan Granato Starr, LLC

    Accidents happen. Wrongful death is no accident. When a local woman was struck by an intoxicated driver, Jarve Granato Starr stood with her family to recover damages from the driver and the bar that over-served him.

Wrongful Death

The victim’s family was awarded $8.6 million, but there is no compensation worth their loved one’s life.

A Wrongful Death claim may be warranted when the actions of another person or entity/company results in a person’s death. The purpose of a Wrongful Death claim is to compensate family members who have lost the future income, service and support of a breadwinner. If the act causing loss of life is deemed particularly reckless or heinous in nature, punitive damage may also be assessed.

  • Motor vehicle accidents
  • Medical negligence
  • Defective and dangerous products
  • Unsafe medications
  • Hazardous property conditions
