Wrongful death claims are statutory causes of action that may be brought by a surviving spouse, child or parent to compensate them for the losses they sustained as the result of the wrongful death of a family member, including medical expenses, funeral and burial expenses, loss of support, loss of medical insurance and retirement benefits, loss of services and loss of guidance and nurturing to your family as well as for the decedent’s conscious pain and suffering.
The damages you receive should be fair and just compensation for the “pecuniary losses”, that is economic losses, resulting from the death of your family member for you and each distributee for whom the claim is brought.
If the deceased family member is a parent, the “pecuniary losses” should include the parental nurturing and care provided to the children, loss of physical, moral and intellectual training, guidance and assistance that would have been provided to the children if he or she had lived.
