⚖️ Can a Wrongful Death Claim Be Filed Without an Autopsy in New Jersey?
An autopsy can provide important evidence about the cause of death, but it is not automatically required to pursue a wrongful death claim. Other evidence may be available to establish how the death occurred and whether another party’s conduct was responsible.
🔎 Evidence may include:
✔️ Medical records and physician opinions
✔️ Accident or incident reports
✔️ Expert testimony
✔️ Evidence of preexisting health conditions
Without an autopsy, proving causation may be more challenging in cases involving multiple possible causes of death.
