What Amount Of Money Do You Get From A
Lawsuit?
If you lost a loved one (a husband, a parent, a sibling or a child) as a result of an accident caused by someone else’s negligence, in theory, you are eligible to obtain certain compensation. This is issued by the at-fault party’s insurance company and differs from one case to another.
Allegiance Law can not say for sure that you will obtain a fixed amount; however, based on previous cases, one can know what to expect after such a tragic loss. Here is what you can expect after filing a wrongful death lawsuit.
Types Of Damages That You Can Recover
In order to have a successful lawsuit, you are going to need legal help and representation. In case you do not have an attorney and do not know who to call or ask for help get in touch with San Francisco wrongful death attorneys. All you have to do is give attorneys a call, schedule your free initial consultation and learn everything about the wrongful death case and what it takes for a lawsuit to be successful.
Once your lawsuit is processed by the court, you can expect to receive the compensation for the following damages:
01
Medical care (and other related expenses) – everything from the accidents until your loved one’s death
02
Burial and funeral costs
03
Your loved one’s lost wages - usually involves the period from their injury to their death
04
Lost Inheritance (children and spouse may be eligible)
05
Pain and suffering (only applicable in certain situations and under certain conditions)
Based on the number of surviving family members, the entire sum obtained from the lawsuit is divided equally. If the deceased had only a spouse, he or she receives the entire payout. In case the spouse has children, according to the law, she is to receive a substantial amount of money (around $40-50 thousand) and half of the payout, while the other half is divided among the children. In case the deceased only had children, they will equally divide the payout. The same goes for parents or siblings of the deceased, in case there is no spouse or children.
Help is Needed! Contacting a wrongful death attorney in your area is crucial for the case. According to the state laws and regulations, you have a certain amount of time to act and file a lawsuit before it becomes “too late to seek compensation” for your loved one’s death.
The best way to learn everything about these laws, as well as to receive the much-needed guidance and information is to speak with one of wrongful death attorneys in San Francisco. Feel free to give them a call as soon as you are able to. Be sure to take some time off to mourn the death of your loved one. They understand that it is something that you have to deal with personally, and will support every decision that you make. But for your own sake and for the sake of your children and their future, do the right thing. The money will help you move on with your life (financially), and cover the largest amount of bills surrounding the funeral and your loved one’s death.
