Your loved one’s passing may entitle you to compensation for medical expenses, grief, and other damages. A New Castle wrongful death lawyer will seek the settlement or judgment that you deserve.
Isaacs & Isaacs Personal Injury Lawyers have represented many clients coping with a wrongful death. We will lead your case while you focus on your loved ones.
What Are Recoverable Damages in a New Castle Wrongful Death Case?
This depends on your personal circumstances. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) notes that, when someone suffers an injury (or illness)—including fatal ones—we must consider:
- The cost of resulting medical care
- Lost quality of life (including for surviving loved ones)
- The economic cost of the injury or illness
Our firm knows how damaging wrongful deaths are. In the wrongful death cases we’ve handled, we have seen victims experience:
Medical Expenses
Wrongful deaths can occur from both illnesses and fatal injuries. Medical costs in a wrongful death case may stem from:
- Emergency transportation
- Emergency department care
- Medical imaging
- Surgery
- Hospitalization
- Medications
The nature of your loved one’s illness or injury may determine their medical costs. These costs may be a substantial part of your case for compensation.
Pain and Suffering
Pain and suffering is a key damage in a wrongful death claim. Because the damage of losing a loved one is largely non-financial, the courts generally reflect this loss as pain and suffering. More specifically, pain and suffering can cover:
- The pain that your loved one experienced before their passing
- The grief that you and your loved ones have experienced, and may continue to experience
- Lost quality of life caused by your loved one’s passing
- Lost companionship for a spouse
- Lost parental guidance for a child
You may also get financial coverage for grief counseling, medications, and any other treatments you need.
Funeral Expenses
Healthline explains that the average funeral costs around $15,000, and your loved one’s may cost even more. Our firm will seek coverage for any funeral and burial expenses that your family faces.
Lost Financial Support
If the person who suffered a wrongful death was earning an income at the time of the death, then you may have lost financial support. Forms of lost financial support may include:
- Lost wages or salary
- Lost employer-matched retirement benefits
- Lost potential performance bonuses
- Lost opportunities to earn promotions and greater earning power
We may project your loved one’s lost earnings through their retirement age.
Our team will conduct a complete investigation of your losses. We may hire experts to assist us in this process. A New Castle wrongful death lawyer from Isaacs & Isaacs Personal Injury Lawyers will pursue the entire financial recovery you’re entitled to.
