Factors in a Massachusetts Wrongful Death Lawsuit (Part B)
Determining Damages in a Wrongful Death Claim
Another important component in your Massachusetts wrongful death lawsuit is to determine and demonstrate the monetary damages which were incurred as a result of your loved one’s death.
Some of the factors which may affect the final damage award include:
- Age and marital status of the victim
- Number of children
- Prior health
- Loss of future wages (including benefits)
- Loss of companionship
- Medical bills associated with the incident
- Funeral expenses incurred by the family
- Severity of pain suffered by the victim
- Insurance coverage of the defendant
- Punitive damages
Since each case is unique and all the surrounding circumstances of a person’s life are taken into account, it is difficult for any lawyer to give an estimate of what a particular wrongful death claim may be worth until they can look at all the specifics of the case.
