For over thirty years, the Ginarte Law Firm has been fighting for the rights of accident victims throughout the New York / New Jersey area. Our practice includes work-related accidents, slip and falls, automobile accidents, product liability cases, construction site accidents, and other types of personal injury cases. Our attorneys also have extensive experience in wrongful death cases.

Wrongful death actions are civil claims asserted against a person or entity that causes the death of another. In New Jersey, if the decedent died intestate or without a will, then the County Surrogate must appoint an Administrator Ad Prosequendum to bring a wrongful death action against the culpable party. An Administrator Ad Prosequendum has the power only to prosecute a wrongful death action. Thus, an Administrator Ad Prosequendum has no authority over any assets of the estate. The decedent’s county of residence at the time of death determines which County Surrogate Court has the authority to name an Administrator Ad Prosequendum.

The Ginarte Law Firm has the knowledge and expertise to prosecute wrongful death cases. Our attorneys have routinely worked with County Surrogates located throughout the New York and New Jersey metropolitan area.
