WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM COMPENSATION KANSAS CITY
There are a number of damages that can be awarded in wrongful death lawsuits. In most cases, both economic and non-economic damages may be awarded. Unlike the economic damages, which are easy to ascertain and calculate, the non-economic damages are more subjective. These are not tangible and are often the greatest losses, but they can be more difficult to prove. Some of the non-economic damages include trauma, stress, distress, pain, and suffering, among others.
As for the economic damages, these refer to expenses that have been incurred as a result of the negligent action of another. This may include medical expenses before death, funeral costs, loss of future income and so much more. The costs of counseling and guidance for the immediate family such as children and spouse to the deceased may also be included. There are also punitive damages, which are meant to punish the accused persons. Regardless of the circumstances, we’re professional lawyers who will fight your battles aggressively and ensure that your legal rights are protected.
