ClientRecoverable Losses for Fatal Car Accident Victims in Opelousas
The National Safety Council (NSC) calculates the cost of a fatal motor vehicle accident to be $1.75 million. However, this figure only accounts for certain damages. When we consider the non-economic costs of losing your loved one, the cost could be far greater.
We will seek money to cover:
- Your loved one’s non-economic value to you: This can include their spousal companionship, the guidance they provided as a parent, and other non-economic benefits they gave to others.
- Pain and suffering: This category of loss may include the decedent’s pain and emotional anguish, your grief, lost quality of life, and other types of suffering.
- Medical costs, funeral expenses, and property damage: These are economic damages that we often see in wrongful death cases. Our team will seek money to cover all medical bills, funeral costs, vehicle repairs, and other expenses resulting from the accident.
- Lost financial support: You may get compensation for the decedent’s lost future income, household services, and other types of financial support.
Each case we handle presents us with unique damages. Our team will work with you, medical professionals, mental health professionals, and experts to identify all of your losses.
