What is a tort?

A tort is a civil wrong that has been done to another person. Torts involve breaking the duty of care that one person owes to another person. When someone can be held liable for a tort, the victim of the wrong doing is typically able to receive monetary awards to aid them in paying for the costs of their injury.

If someone committed a tortious act against someone you love which ultimately lead to their death, you deserve an experienced New Jersey wrongful death lawyer to fight aggressively to get you the justice and compensation you are seeking.
