Yes. You can file a wrongful death claim to seek non-economic damages for your emotional losses, such as the loss of the child’s companionship and affection. If you can establish that your child was already financially contributing to the household—such as a teen who works part-time after school to help pay the bills—you can seek compensation for the loss of their financial contribution, as well. Likewise, if your child performed household services such as mowing the lawn or cleaning and you must now hire someone else to perform those services for you, you can seek compensation for the cost of those services.
