Wrongful Death of A Child

Putting a price on human life is not easy, but it is a fact when it comes to wrongful death suits. But when it is about the death of a child, how is value assessed?

Damages recoverable for the wrongful death of a child begin with special damages. That is the costs like the medical, hospital, and medication expenses that the child incurred before passing away. This may also include ambulance rides, emergency surgery, or life support.

Parents can also claim loss of consortium – covering non-monetary items like love, companionship, or loss of the parent-child relationship. The actual amount recoverable depends on factors like the child’s age, health, capacity and the state of the grieving parents.

Parents may be able to recover damages for mental anguish and suffering caused by death. These damages can include expenses like psychological treatment, grief counseling, psychological support for siblings, and medication for emotional issues like depression.

If your child has passed away due to the negligence of another person, contact an experienced wrongful death attorney. No parent should bury their child, but unfortunately, these things tragically happen. And when it happens in a way that could have been prevented, it is that much more of a burden to bear. Those responsible need to be held accountable and a car accident attorney can help.
