In Rhode Island, the family may be able to pursue financial compensation when they experience the following after a wrongful death:
Loss of Earnings
Loss of future earnings, including pensions, bonuses or other benefits
Medical expenses, including hospitalization, medical procedures, medication and more
Property damage, such as vehicle damage, damage to personal property and more
Emotional trauma
Truly, no amount of money could make up for the loss of a loved one. It can, however, alleviate the financial burden such a loss can cause, helping the family focus on remembering their loved one rather than dealing with the stress of mounting bills and lost earnings.
