What Damages Can Be Recovered In A Wrongful Death Case?

No amount of money can truly make up for the loss of a loved one. But the family members and loved ones of the victim of a wrongful death deserve compensation to try and help ease some of the strain and suffering that a death can cause. People close to the victim of a wrongful death can recover three types of damages:

  • Economic damages: These damages have a specific dollar value and cover expenses related to funeral costs, medical bills and expenses, lost wages and benefits
  • Noneconomic damages: These cover intangible costs like the cost of loss of companionship
  • Punitive damages: In some cases additional damages can be awarded if the party responsible is found guilty of gross negligence or intent

Ms. Frank can help people evaluate their case and provide committed advocacy to help recover compensation.

Is Specific Evidence Needed To Support A Wrongful Death Claim?

Wrongful death cases can be challenging to prove. However, the standard of proof in a wrongful death claim is less than that of a homicide case. Wrongful death cases are civil cases, which require a “preponderance of evidence” rather than “proof beyond a reasonable doubt” that is required in a criminal case.

However, specific evidence is still necessary and important in proving a wrongful death case. Evidence like medical records, witness statements, accident scene photos and expert testimony, similar to that of a personal injury case, are required to prove wrongful death. Your attorney must be able to prove that the negligence of another party caused your loved one’s death. Ms. Frank is well-equipped and skilled in these types of cases. She provides both support and strong advocacy to families dealing with wrongful death cases.
