In the event both parents have
perished in a disaster, their chill
dren may recover the value of
their lives, but the measure in
this case is how long the children
could reasonably have expected
to have been supported, and to
what extent. The education that
had been planned for them is the
best indicator of this.
If the mother of a family is
killed, even though the husband
and children may have suffered
no financial loss from her death,
they are entitled to an award
based simply on how good a wife
and mother she was.
Who Il Worth Most?
WHEN you get right down to it,
the courts are pretty realistic
about the value of your life. If
you change jobs constantly, show
little or no promise, provide in
adequately for your family, are
a poor father to your children, it
is apparent that your life is not
worth as much as that of a man
who has worked hard for a pro-
motion, provides generously for
his family and has strong,
healthy ties with his kids. It's
as simple as that. The End

WHAT Is YOUR LIFE WORTH?
Continued from page thi1ty-tWO

consideration, for no matter how
much you were earning at the
time of your death. if your rela-
ton with your family was un-
happy and not likely to last, that
consideration strongly reduces
your value.
Furthermore, your life has a
value which is not pecuniary, but
which the court must express in
dollars and cents. In one case
the court said, The wife is en-
titled, in addition to pecuniary
loss, to compensation for the loss
of other benefits which the de-
ceased husband =. would have
bestowed on his family. The loss
of service, counsel and guidance,
and of gifts to his children, are
included in these non-pecuniary
benefits"
Insurance No Bax
But whatever amount the
court awards is in no way affected
by how much life insurance or
accident insurance you may
carry. The courts refuse to Pc
nalize the man who carries in
surance. Nor does it matter that
your widow may have remarked
between the time you died and
the suit came up in court - even
if she married the richest Texan
in captivity.
Bear in mind, however, that
your life only has the value you
have by now given it in the
United States.
The United States is signatory
to the 1884 Warsaw Convention,
which limits an airline's liability
in a legal action based on an
accident outside the United
States to $500. The recent
$3,5O0,O0O lawsuit that singer
Jane Froman, and accordionist
Gypsy Markoff, brought against
Pan American Always for the
l943 Yankee Clipper disaster
near Lisbon in which both we're
severely injured, had to be linn
tied to the $500 ceiling of this
Warsaw Convention.
Therefore, when you are trav-
cling outside the continental linn
its of the United States, since
your life is worth so much less,
you should carry a sufficiently
Evening star., 1953-10-11

large amount of special airplane
insurance, available at the time
you buy your ticket.
There is another limitation
that might also affect the value
of your life. Thirteen states have
placed a limit on the amount
that can be recovered for a per-
sons death. If the death occurs
in any of these states the de-
ceased's life can't be worth more
than the top limit of that state:
