Wrongful Death Settlements | Compensation

When I met with a family member of a child who passed away, one of the questions she had was, “What damages are we going to seek, and what am I entitled?” The answer is not always easy; it depends. If the person or people making the claim for the wrongful death of an individual relied on that individual for monetary support, they are entitled to that financial loss. If a child supports his parents, that mother is entitled to monetary damages for that loss of the help from the son. All of that is in addition to the loss of companionship, which is an emotional component, which usually comprises the bulk of the wrongful death actions. In addition to the emotional component, if a person is dependent financially on the person who passed away, then they’re entitled to make that claim as well.
