Financial Recovery in a Wrongful Death Case
Financial awards in a wrongful death case vary. Once we know everything there is to know about your case, we will have a better idea of what awards you might be able to receive. Typical awards in a wrongful death case include:
- Funeral and burial expenses
- Medical expenses for the care your loved one received before their death
- Financial support you would be receiving from your loved one
