Understanding Your Potential Compensation Award
Often, potential clients call our firm wondering what, if anything, they can recover in a wrongful death case. While this varies depending on the party bringing the claim and the scope of the accident involved, most often it is possible to seek compensation for:
- Funeral expenses
- Medical expenses related to the accident
- Grief and mental anguish
- Loss of companionship
- Loss of future wages or financial support
In certain cases where the individual who caused your loved one's death acted with such blatant negligence or excessive recklessness, you may also be able to recover punitive damages. These damages are meant to punish the wrongdoer and to encourage him or her to avoid causing further harm in the future. A good example of such a case is a death caused by a drunk driver.
