Overview

Wrongful death lawsuits can result in families being awarded thousands, even millions, of dollars in damages. Generally, wrongful death damages depend on the relationship of the family member to the deceased. Parents that have lost a child could be entitled to damages that include potential financial contributions from that child. Wrongful death damages for spouses include:

• loss of companionship
• potential financial contributions
• mental anguish

Children may also have damages due to the loss of a parent, but this is often based on age. Wrongful death damages for children can include mental anguish and loss of companionship. Minors can recover wrongful death damages for monies the deceased would have contributed to raising the child. Adult children of the deceased who claim wrongful death damages could be eligible for the sum the parent would reasonably have contributed to them. Occasionally, wrongful death damages include loss of inheritance, as well as punitive damages. Wrongful death damages are not limited to family members only. Many times, wrongful death damages may be awarded a person of the deceased that is mentioned in the will. Wrongful death claims also generally cover medical and funeral expenses, as well as pain and suffering before death.
