What type of compensation is awarded in wrongful death cases?

The following is a list of general damages that most states consider appropriate for compensation in wrongful death cases. A top wrongful death lawyer in Houston, TX from John K. Zaid & Associates can give a better idea of damages specific to each family’s case:

  •         Lost wages- this may include lost wages until the time of reasonable retirement of the deceased.
  •         Medical bills
  •         Funeral and burial expenses
  •         Pain and suffering- in the case of the deceased surviving the incident only to die later, pain and suffering may be awarded. Additionally, the family members’ pain and suffering at the loss may warrant monetary compensation.

What is the timeframe for filing a wrongful death lawsuit?

Each state has its own statute of limitations. Some allow one year from the time of the incident while others allow two years. It is advised that any family who has suffered the loss of a loved one should seek guidance from top wrongful death lawyer, like those at John K. Zaid & Associates, as soon as possible.
