What is my case worth?

The amount of damages wrongful death attorneys can obtain for you depends on many factors such as the age and health of the deceased and heirs, the life expectancy of the deceased and heirs, the financial loss, the emotional loss, who the heirs are, the insurance coverage, and whether or not surviving family members were dependent upon the deceased for income for support. Also to be considered in computing damages is the loss of companionship, loss of love and affection of the surviving spouse, children, parents and other surviving family members. You are also entitled to all out of pocket expenses incurred, such as funeral expenses.
