• Motor vehicle accidents
• Bicycle and pedestrian accidents
• Slip-and-falls and falls from elevated heights
• On-the-job accidents
• Nursing home injuries, abuse or neglect
• Traumatic brain injuries
• Spinal cord injuries
• Organ damage or internal bleeding

What Type Of Compensation Can You Recover After A Wrongful Death?

There are three kinds of damages that you may seek in a wrongful death case: economic, noneconomic and punitive.

Economic damages: Your costs and other financial losses resulting from the death of your family member will be calculated so you can recover compensation. This may include past, present and future losses such as medical bills, lost wages and benefits, and loss of their contributions to the household. Reasonable funeral and burial costs are also included.

Noneconomic damages: Your personal losses will also be valued so you can be compensated for your family member’s pain and suffering prior to death, your emotional distress and loss of consortium/the personal loss of a loved one.

Punitive damages: These are awarded in cases of extreme negligence to punish the responsible party and to try to prevent the negligent or felony conduct from happening again. It is important to remember that punitive damages are not awarded in every case. I will tell you if it applies in your situation.

Will Your Case Go To Trial?

This is a common question in any personal injury or wrongful death case. Most cases settle out of court through negotiations between the parties’ lawyers. A wrongful death settlement saves time and spares the family from the trauma and potential pitfalls of a trial. If, however, the opposing side will not negotiate fairly, I can take your case to court.
