Compensation to Help You Through Your Grief

There is no way that your loved one can ever be replaced or forgotten. The harm you have suffered from their untimely death cannot be undone. But there is still room and reason to demand compensation from the party that caused their passing. Regaining financial stability after losing your loved one can help you focus on your grief, rather than stressing about bills that are stacking up. You deserve at least as much.

Your wrongful death claim damages could include:

• Final medical expenses related to your loved one’s death.
• Funeral and burial costs (up to a “reasonable” cap).
• Income your loved one would have earned in life.
• Your anguish after losing a companion or parent.
• Pain and suffering endured by your loved one due to their fatal injury or illness.
• Value of household, day-to-day services often completed by your loved one.

If your loved one lost their life due to the mistakes of a major corporation or company, then punitive damages might be available to you. This is because punitive damages are paid by the defendant, not their insurance company, so courts usually only approve of them when the defendant has substantial finances. For example, if your loved one lost their life in a truck accident, then the trucking company might be ordered to pay punitive damages.

Initial consultations are free for inquiring clients. Our Waldorf wrongful death attorneys are standing by.
