You can recover damages for anything the decedent would have contributed while they lived. You can also recover what you lost for intangibles like moral support (general damages) and tangibles financial losses like gifts or benefits you expected to receive, including medical bills.

Defenses in Wrongful Death These defenses are: Causation, Comparative Negligence, and Imputed Comparative Negligence.

For example, if someone is killed in a car wreck, or passes away in the hospital from their injuries, that is a wrongful death claim. But if someone is injured in a car wreck and later dies due to an unrelated illness or event, that is a survival action.

Wrongful death settlements consider the deceased person's loved ones and their needs due to the unexpected loss of companionship and support. While settlements may range anywhere from $500,000 to several million dollars, these amounts are just examples.

Unlike wrongful death lawsuits, which center around what the survivors have lost as a result of their loved one's death, survivor action claims focus on the damages suffered by the victim between the event that caused his or her injuries and the time of that individual's death.

Comparative negligence is a legal principle that recognizes that in some accidents, multiple parties, including the victim, may have played a role. Instead of assigning full blame to one party, the law examines the actions of everyone involved, assigning each a percentage of fault.

There are many defenses you can use in a wrongful death suit such as: The statute of limitations has run and the claim is time barred. You did not have a duty of care towards the deceased. You acted in self-defense. You were not negligent in your actions and did everything a reasonable person would have done.

Negligence: Establishing that there was a lack of care or wrongful action. Breach of Duty or Death of Someone: Demonstrating that there was a duty owed to the deceased, and it was breached. Causation: Proving that the breach of duty directly caused the death.
