How much you can receive in a wrongful death claim in Jacksonville depends on many factors.
Your attorney will review your case carefully and estimate its value based on these variables:
- Pain and suffering: How much did the deceased suffer during the incident or accident? The more physical discomfort and fear they experienced, the higher the case value. Your loved one’s medical team can be interviewed to document how much your loved one suffered.
- Medical and funeral expenses: Many wrongful death victims do not pass away immediately. They may have been taken to the ER and hospitalized. There may have been surgeries and weeks of recovery, but they passed. You could have hundreds of thousands in medical bills to pay, plus funeral expenses.
- Lost earnings: Your case may be worth more if you lost the main breadwinner in your home. The wrongful death claim may also be worth more if your loved one had a high income.
- Liability: The wrongful death claim can have a higher value if the liability is clear and the party has enough insurance to cover your losses fully. A trucking company, for example, usually has ample coverage to pay wrongful death claims if their driver caused the accident.
