We find ourselves in mourning and grief in conclude that our loved ones, no matter what we say or do, will in no way be with us anymore in this life.

When the passing of a loved one is sudden, and without warning, and caused by the carelessness of others, then that grief and sadness is also coupled with anger, frustration, resentment.  Powerful emotions which can overcome us and consume us, and which we need to temper with faith and family.

Wrongful Death Damages

The types of damages available in a wrongful death claim often depend on the decedent's circumstances.  Accordingly, whether these classes of damages are available in your family's wrongful death lawsuit will depend on the deceased family member's life experiences prior to the wrongful death:

Loss of Income
If the wrongful death victim was employed or worked regularly, then he or she would have probably continued to work and earn income for the benefit of the family. These future earnings are a measure of damages.

Loss of Household Services
Everyday chores, tasks, child care, and work around the home have value.  What would it cost to replace these services? There are guides which do just this.  Accordingly, these damages are designed to compensate the wrongful death beneficiaries for the services that the deceased provided around the house.

Loss of Companionship.
The surviving husband or wife is eligible for compensation from the wrongful death defendant for the loss of companionship.  Minor children are also eligible for compensation for loss of parental companionship.
