WRONGFUL DEATH

If a family member dies due to another person's or a corporation's carelessness, the family of the decedent has a wrongful death claim. Handling the loss of a loved one is mentally, financially and emotionally draining.  A “wrongful death” action can be pursued by the personal representative of the estate for the benefit of the surviving spouse, children, stepchildren, parents and stepparents of the decedent. Damages recoverable in wrongful death include: Reasonable charges for medical care and funeral expenses; Compensation for decedent’s disability, pain and suffering; Pecuniary loss to descendant’s estate; Pecuniary loss and compensation for loss of society, companionship, and services suffered by descendant’s spouse, children and parents; and Punitive damages that the decedent would have been entitled to recover had he lived. “Non economic damages” in wrongful death are limited to $500,000 by statute.  A “survival” action is allowed for injury claims when the claimant’s death is unrelated. Damages are limited. Joe Durkee has the skill, compassion and dedication needed to help you honor the loss of a loved one by holding the wrongdoer accountable.
