Fortunately, the at-fault vehicle initially struck bushes and knocked over a palm tree prior to the collision, otherwise the injuries to our client most likely would have been fatal. A life care plan for the client was prepared by a highly qualified, well respected certified life care planner hired by our firm, and ultimately, the case settled for $500,000.00.

What Compensation Can I Recover for My Loved One’s Passing?

What you can recover depends on the specifics of your loved one’s passing, but we regularly obtain the following damages for clients:

  • Lost support and services prior to the decedent’s passing
  • Future lost support and services
  • Loss of companionship and protection
  • Survivors’ mental pain and suffering
  • Minor children’s lost parental companionship, instruction, and guidance (All children can recover if there is no surviving spouse.)
  • Medical bills and funeral and burial costs

However, we know that compensation isn’t everything. We will also seek justice for your loved one, holding the negligent party accountable for their careless decision.

Proving Wrongful Death

To hold another party accountable for your loved one’s passing, we must prove the following:

  • The other party owed your loved one a duty of care (e.g., driving safely, keeping a dog leashed, or warning of a hazard on their property).
  • The other party breached that duty of care.
  • That breach caused your loved one’s fatal injuries.
  • You sustained damages.

Our team will use evidence such as the police or incident report, eyewitness statements, vehicle data, photos and videos, and expert witness statements, to establish how the other party’s negligence caused your loved one’s passing.
