Four Components of a Wrongful Death Claim
(1) The death was caused, in whole or part, by the conduct of the defendant; (2) the defendant was negligent or strictly liable for the victim’s death; (3) there is a surviving spouse, children, beneficiaries, or dependents; and (4) monetary damages have resulted from the victim’s death.
What is “Just Compensation”?
In a wrongful death claim, those entitled to bring such a claim are entitled to just compensation for the loss each has suffered by reason of the death of their loved one. In determining this loss, various items are analyzed and these items include: (1) financial support (2) right to receive support (3) age of the deceased and (4) respective life expectancy of the deceased.
Each entitled person also can receive reasonable compensation for the loss of love, companionship, comfort, affection, society, solace, or moral support of the decedent. Finally, funeral and medical costs are a part of the legal analysis.
