Recoverable damages
A wrongful death action helps loved ones establish liability following a fatal incident. This action also assesses the damages suffered as a result of the fatal accident.
Depending on your situation, a lawsuit could help you recover damages for medical bills, funeral expenses, loss of income or benefits of the deceased, the value of service by the deceased lost, loss of care, guidance and nurturing from the deceased, loss of companionship and mental anguish.
While there is no sum of money that can make up for the loss you are suffering, we understand that compensation can help offset the financial burdens. This can better assist you and your family while you cope with your loss and manage the affairs of the deceased.
