Recoverable Damages in New York Wrongful Death Cases
Each person is unique. Therefore, when someone passes away, the resulting losses are also unique. We will work to understand who your loved one was and particulars of your special relationship. Only then are we able to properly evaluate your losses.
The journal Psychosomatic Medicine explains that grief affects both the mind and body. Therefore, we will account for any negative effects that grief has caused you and your loved ones. Other recoverable damages might include:
- Pain and suffering: In addition to grief, the damage category pain and suffering could cover depression, anxiety, and any pain and suffering the decedent experienced before their passing, if they were caused by the accident injuries that caused them to pass.
- Funeral expenses: Liable parties could cover the cost of your loved one’s funeral and burial.
- Loss of consortium: Your lawsuit could cover the small and big benefits your loved one provided before passing away. This could include romantic partnership, emotional support, guidance, instruction, and other non-financial value the decedent provided.
- Medical expenses: Any medical expenses resulting from negligence will be part of your lawsuit. These costs could result from ambulance transport, intensive care, surgery, end-of-life care, and other medical services.
- Lost financial support: Wrongful death victims are, in many cases, also income earners. As a result, you or your loved ones might have lost financial support because of your loved one’s passing. Lost income, benefits, bonuses, and potential promotions could be among those losses.
Calculating damages is not easy. But you have lost someone you love, and our firm will articulate the total cost of your immense loss.
