Wrongful Death: Damages for "wrongful death" are available for the wife, husband, parent and child of
the deceased person. Sometimes, persons related by blood or marriage, who were dependent upon the deceased, may
recover. Damages are not limited to economic loss and may include damages for mental anguish, emotional pain
and suffering, loss of society, companionship, comfort, protection, marital care, parental care, filial care,
attention, advice, counsel, training, guidance or education. Damages are available for the deceased's estate as
well.
Pain And Suffering: Ordinarily, the most "valuable" and "critical" element of your bodily injury claim is
the right to compensation for physical pain and mental anguish you have suffered and will endure in the future
because of your accident injury or abuse. These general damages are in addition to and may be far more than the
amount of your lost earnings and medical expenses.
