Municipal Courts in New Jersey are considered courts of limited jurisdiction with responsibility for motor vehicle and parking tickets, minor offenses, municipal ordinance offenses such as dog barking or building violations, and fish and game violations. A Municipal Court usually has jurisdiction only over cases that occur within the boundaries of its municipality. Serious criminal cases, such as robbery, auto theft, or assault, start out as complaints filed in the Municipal Court, but are then transferred to the Superior Court located at the county courthouse.

If you have to appear in Municipal Court in New Jersey and have questions about what to expect, please contact the municipal court lawyers at Law Offices of Anthony Carbone, P.C. today, serving Jersey City and Newark.

Questions about Wrongful Death

Thursday, March 24th, 2011

How are damages determined following a wrongful death?

Figuring the amount of money you can collect for a wrongful death claim gets complicated. Family members can recover compensation for costs already incurred, such as the victim’s medical bills and burial expenses. In addition, you and your family may be entitled to compensation for the future, such as:

  • Wages the person who died would have earned if he/she had lived
  • Pain and suffering experienced by the surviving family members
  • Loss of parental support for surviving children

An experienced wrongful death attorney like Anthony Carbone will be able to help you determine the damages you may be able to recover following the death of your family member.

Is there a difference between wrongful death and murder?

Murder is a criminal charge that requires proof of guilt and intent beyond a reasonable doubt. A wrongful death claim is a civil suit that merely requires proof that the defendant is responsible for the death of the victim. For instance, O.J. Simpson was acquitted of murdering his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, but was held responsible for her death in the civil wrongful death lawsuit that followed. If you know who caused the death of your loved one, wrongful death attorney Anthony Carbone can help you hold that person accountable even if they cannot be convicted on criminal charges.

If you have lost a loved one and it was determined a wrongful death, please contact the wrongful death lawyers at Law Offices of Anthony Carbone, P.C., serving Jersey City and Newark, New Jersey, to schedule your initial consultation.
