Types of Compensation in a Nevada Wrongful Death Case
No amount of money can replace the life of a loved one, but a wrongful death action may help mitigate financial hardship for surviving members of the family. Some damages for which compensation may be available to the surviving family members include:
- Funeral and Burial Expenses: These costs are especially burdensome for most families who are trying to come to terms with their loss. Compensation granted will help with such expenses.
- Medical Expenses: If your loved one was treated in a hospital before they passed, you can receive compensation to cover part of those expenses.
- Loss of Income: The death of an individual who was the wage-earning member of their family can cause significant financial hardship. Compensation has to take into account loss that came from income because of one’s death, including that income that was supposed to come in the future.
- Consortium Losses: A surviving spouse could also receive damages for any consortium–companionship and love, and support received–they might have received from their partner.
- Pain and Suffering: Because this might be hard to quantify, it may well be the basis upon which surviving family members can obtain compensation for their emotional suffering resulting from their loved one’s passing.
