Modesto Wrongful Death Attorney

Compensation for the Death of a Family Member

When you have lost a family member in a fatal accident, there is no amount of money in the world that will ever be enough to undo what has happened and replace your loss. It is impossible to put a price tag on the tragic loss of a loved one. You can, however, claim monetary damages to offset the considerable economic impact of the accident, thereby making it easier for you to move on from this terrible experience in your life.

Wrongful Death Damages

Under state law, your wrongful death claim can include economic damages to cover medical expenses after the accident, as well as funeral expenses. Economic damages can also replace the financial contributions that you could have expected to receive from your loved one, including:

  • Income
  • Gifts and inheritance
  • Reasonable value of household services that your family member would have rendered

You can additionally claim noneconomic damages for your loss of love, affection, companionship, care, assistance, comfort, protection, society, and moral support. Noneconomic damages are intended to compensate you for the hole that has been left in your life.
