Fatal Crash in Salem Township

A rear-end collision on Route 22 in Salem Township, has left one man dead. The victim’s wife and three-year-old daughter were also injured in the crash.

Police said a pick-up truck struck the victim’s vehicle while they were stopped at a stop light.  The vehicle was then thrown into the median.

Recovering compensation after an accident.

If a loved one was killed in an accident, it is important to contact a personal injury attorney right away to review your family’s rights. You may be able to file a civil wrongful death claim.

Pursuing a claim after losing a loved one will never fill the void left by a loved one’s passing away. It is not a matter of profiting for the family left behind, but rather recovering.  The recovery of damages can alleviate the unexpected funeral costs and expenses accrued when a loved one passes.
