Recoverable Damages in a Scott Fatal Car Accident Case
Though it is difficult to measure the true impact of losing your loved one, that will be our firm’s responsibility. We will consider both the economic and non-economic costs of your loved one’s tragic passing, which may include:
Pain and Suffering
Pain and suffering in fatal car accident cases can include:
- Any physical pain and emotional distress the decedent may have felt during their accident
- Grief
- Depression
- Suicidal thoughts
- Other adverse emotional and psychological consequences of your loved one’s passing
A Scott fatal car accident lawyer from our firm will also work with mental health professionals. We will determine what treatment you may need for grief and other types of hardship. We will include the cost of treatment in your damages.
Lost Financial Support
A sudden death can put you under intense financial stress, as you may lose the decedent’s:
- Work-related benefits, which may include health insurance
- Income
- Future earning power
- Household skills
Our team will calculate how much financial support you have lost. We will project the decedent’s likely future earnings, and this sum could be substantial.
Accident-Related Expenses
You may face funeral expenses, medical bills, invoices for vehicle repairs, and other expenses directly linked to the accident in Scott. We will include such expenses as we fight for your financial recovery.
Loss of Consortium (and Similar Losses)
The cost of losing a loved one ranges well beyond finances. You have lost someone important to you, and the greatest losses may include:
- The loss of companionship and intimacy
- The loss of parental guidance
- The loss of emotional and psychological support
Life may get substantially harder when you suffer a wrongful death. Your financial recovery should reflect the devastating nature of your loss, and we will work to see that it does.
