As reported by NorthJersey.com, the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office Fatal Accident Investigation Unit and the Bergen County Sheriff’s Office are still investigating a car accident from Saturday, May 22, 2021, that left one pedestrian dead.
A Motor Vehicle Struck a Pedestrian
The accident occurred at around 3:40am on Saturday, May 22, 2021, on Route 17 South in Lodi, just north of the Route 80 interchange. Bergen County Prosecutor Mark Musella told reporters that a car struck a pedestrian near 240 Route 17 South.
The Lodi Police Department and the Bergen County Sheriff’s Office responded to the scene of the accident, but, unfortunately, the pedestrian was pronounced dead shortly thereafter. Though the name of the deceased has not been released, authorities did reveal that they were 38 years old.
Despite earlier reports that the accident happened in Hackensack, it did indeed occur in Lodi as Route 17 South closed, and all traffic was re-routed at Gregg Street while the crash was cleared. The road was opened again around noon that day.
The Cause of the Accident is Still Under Investigation
NorthJersey.com also reported that the accident is still being investigated by the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office and Chief Jason Love, as well as the Bergen County Sheriff’s Office and Sheriff Anthony Cureton.
How Can the Victim’s Family Get Justice?
Sadly, people like this victim die in car accidents every day. Besides criminal charges, how can the families of victims such as these get justice and compensation for their pain, loss, and suffering?
While a personal injury claim won’t bring back the deceased or erase the pain or loss, it can go a long way towards easing the financial burden of that loss for the victim’s families and making the responsible party accountable for the loss.

KGG Law, and Barry Kantrowitz in particular, set the bar high for what a thorough, practical, strategic, compassionate and smart lawyer can be. Everything about Barry's advice and representation was exemplary and the stress mitigation that resulted was invaluable. On top of that, the ultimate result Barry achieved was beyond what was reasonable to expect and we are forever grateful. Often, people say that you hire a lawyer to prevent a problem. Sometimes, unfortunately, you need an attorney to solve a problem and I could not recommend Barry and his firm any more highly in that regard.Posted on Google

Kate Carballo is a dedicated, passionate, and creative attorney whom I had the pleasure to lecture with at a state trial lawyer's conference. Kate's lecture demonstrated how she uses her innovative and "out-of-the-box thinking" to achieve outstanding results for her injured clients. That Kate is certified by the Supreme Court of New Jersey as a civil trial attorney is a testament to her skills, experience and commitment to excellence.Posted on Google

Was referred to KGG law by a friend and could not have asked for better legal representation. They walked me through every step of the process after my accident and began every call with “ how are you feeling” which was just one example of how much they care about their clients. They handled my case very efficiently, professionally and courteously. My attorney Kate Carballo was a rock star! So clearly experienced, she consistently made me feel at ease with the process. Highly recommendPosted on Google

We had a great experience with the team at KGG Law. While it was a traumatic time for our family, they made it very easy for us and explained all of our options. They even performed due diligence to make sure that after our settlement, there would be no further issues which I think is even more important than the settlement itself. Thank you!
