Monetary Compensation For Wrongful Death Claims

A wrongful death judgment pays damages to survivors for losses sustained because of a family member’s death. A jury awards damages on the emotional, social, and financial contributions that a decedent would have made to his family members. Some of these potential damages include:

• Funeral and burial expenses
• Loss of companionship
• Loss of financial support
• Family grief

Further, according to the law, heirs, legal representatives, and the estate of the injured person may recover damages for losses the injured person endured before death. The lawsuit prevents a negligent party from avoiding responsibility for negligent actions. Recoverable damages include the economic and non-economic costs typical to a personal injury claim. Some of the possible economic and non-economic damages you can seek monetary compensation for include:

• Medical expenses and bills
• Loss wages and loss of earning capacity
• Mental anguish
• Emotional distress
• Pain and suffering
• Inconvenience
• Inability to use a body part
• Inability to enjoy prior daily activities
• Diminishment of family and spousal relationships
