Wrongful death is the pecuniary loss to the survivor of the decedent. Under a the New Jersey survivor action statute, the family may sue on behalf of the decedent's estate for damages related to any medical expenses, lost earnings and pain and suffering prior to death, had he or she lived. Since the decedent cannot collect on the award, the money damages are awarded to the estate, which is typically distributed to the decedent's heirs and beneficiaries.
