What's does an award cover in a wrongful death lawsuit?

Bisnar Chase LLP

A wrongful death claim in California can be brought by any family member. And what they're entitled to recover is the funeral expenses, the burial expenses and medical expenses. And then they can also recover whatever the lost income to them was. In other words, if a child is being supported by their parent and their parent is killed in an accident of some type, they can recover the anticipated income that they would have received from the parent. But the big unknown, the big tough one is the value of the loss of the relationship. You know, the loss of love, attention, affection, guidance, those kinds of things. That is the unique part of a wrongful death claim. I'm John Bisnar, the senior partner of the Bisnar Chase Law Firm. We exclusively represent seriously injured accident victims from our offices in Newport Beach California.
