Damages are generally limited to pecuniary value – funeral expenses, medical bills and the lost future earnings of the deceased based on life expectancy. If a child was killed, projected earnings might be based on the parents’ education or income.
Damages can include (a) conscious pain and suffering of the person prior to death and (b) punitive damages if the death was caused by fraudulent, reckless, intentional or malicious acts. Survivors can also seek to recover from the emotional distress and loss of companionship or love.
Attorney Waldron has handled a wide range of cases, from fatal auto crashes to deadly fires, drownings and electrocutions. He uses all of the resources available to trace and prove the negligence in every case.
