What damages can I recover from a wrongful death claim?

A claim for wrongful death may include compensation for the following:

  • Reimbursement for all medical expenses incurred as a result of the negligence
  • Reimbursement for the loss of any future income
  • Reimbursement for property damage, if applicable
  • Reimbursement for any future services normally provided to you by the person who has died
  • Reimbursement for loss of consortium, meaning a spouse’s right to the companionship, help and affection from the person who has died
  • Reimbursement for any punitive damages if the negligence was found to be criminal

Every state has a “statute of limitations” (the amount of time allotted to file a claim for negligence). You must protect your family’s rights by making sure that the negligent party is held accountable for your loss.

Although it is extremely hard, it is crucial that you preserve any supporting evidence and file your claim within the legal time limits. A New Jersey wrongful death attorney from Levinson Axelrod, P.A. can help with this process.
