While no amount of compensation can replace a loved one or ease the grief of their loss, it can help relieve the financial burdens that often come in the wake of a wrongful death. Medical bills, funeral expenses, and loss of income take a further toll on surviving family members as they also manage the emotional impact of sudden loss. By securing compensation, those affected can recover some of the damages caused by the responsible party.
Damages may include:
- Medical expenses related to the final care of the deceased
- Funeral and burial costs
- Loss of income and financial support the deceased would have provided
- Punitive damages in cases of gross negligence or intentional harm
- Pain and suffering for the decedent as well as the survivors
- Bereavement and grieving
- Loss of companionship and consortium
Our wrongful death lawyers in Kansas City will work to explore all potential avenues of compensation, so that families can focus on healing.
