A wrongful death payout covers:
Any medical bills that the deceased incurred as a result of their fatal illness or injury
Lost income that the deceased would have earned, had they survived
Reasonable cremation and burial expenses
In some cases, expenses related to tasks that the family now has to pay others to perform, such as childcare or household repairs
The deceased individual’s age, income, dependents, and other factors play a role when we calculate an adequate settlement amount.
