What Are Wrongful Death Damages?

Damages in a wrongful death suit are primarily financial but can also include punitive damages. The primary damages covered in a wrongful death settlement include:

  • Compensation for medical treatment, pain and suffering of the deceased individual leading up to their death
  • Funeral/burial expenses following the individual's death
  • Compensation for surviving family members including: lost earnings, loss of companionship or consortium, etc.

How Do You Prove Wrongful Death?

In order to win a wrongful death claim you must be able to prove the following:

  • The defendant owed a "duty of care" to the deceased individual (i.e. they had a responsibility to obey certain laws or take certain steps to prevent harm coming to the individual)
  • The defendant breached that duty of care by breaking those laws or failing to take the necessary steps
  • The defendant's breach led directly to the individual's death
