Can we put a value on a human life? One of the most common questions we receive at Ehline Law Firm is the “average” or “normal” jury verdict or wrongful death settlement. Since each death case is unique, there is no such thing as an average wrongful death settlement. However, let us go over the regular ranges in a wrongful death case and how they impact the case’s reward. Survivors of wrongful death will experience lost wages, companionship, and other circumstances.
A wrongful death suit settlement varies depending on the wrongful act and the individual’s contribution to the life of the surviving spouse, children, or parents. The involvement of an insurance company also affects the amount that wrongful death cases settle for.
Below, our wrongful death lawyers will look at and explain some of the death claim elements that will affect the amount of compensation you may obtain in a wrongful death case.
Nonetheless, California law permits surviving family members to get compensated for certain monetary reductions, such as:
It’s not easy to figure out how much capital one has lost or explain it all to insurance companies. Nobody knows what kind of employment your loved one would’ve undertaken in the future or how much you would have received.
However, based on your loved one’s education, age, experience, and employment history, you may estimate the amount of financial help you would have gotten.
The estate may also file a survival action to recover medical expenses paid before death and the pain and suffering your family member experienced in their final days. But even if you can prove liability, fault, suffering, and financial losses over the decedent’s life span, you may still be forced to file a wrongful death lawsuit.
Additionally, the decedent’s estate’s personal representative may need to file a probate court action, as well as a survival action for any economic damages and pain and suffering of the dead person.
A top-notch personal injury lawyer from our firm can explain everything about your potential recovery step by step. Don’t leave money damage on the table by having regrets over what you would have earned for the decedent’s life after a motorcycle accident, other motor vehicle accident, or tragedy. Always seek legal advice before signing anything or cashing a settlement check.
As a result, you may file wrongful death lawsuits for a number of emotional losses, such as loss of affection, loss of guidance, loss of moral support, loss of companionship, loss of attention, and loss of intimacy.
These are really genuine losses. They are, however, more difficult to assess because no bill or receipt defines their value. Instead, you and your friendly and charismatic experienced attorney need to think about how to prove these intangible damages.
