Understanding "Wrongful Death"

Although it may seem harsh, courts measure loss in wrongful death lawsuits by determining the proper compensation for the financial loss caused by that death. The court will take the following into consideration:

•  The deceased person's income
•  The deceased person's savings or other assets
•  How financially dependent the survivors were on the deceased
•  Funeral expenses
•  Medical expenses
