Too often, Cherry Hill drunk driving accidents are fatal. In this situation, surviving family members can bring a wrongful death claim against the at-fault parties. Wrongful death claims are very similar to traditional personal injury claims, except that instead of being brought by the accident victim, they are brought by a deceased accident victim’s family member.
In terms of damages in a Cherry Hill wrongful death claim, family members may be able to obtain compensation for the following:
Accident-related medical expenses
Funeral and burial costs
Loss of income that your loved one would have been able to provide to the family
The non-economic losses associated with a tragic, preventable death, such as loss of companionship, advice, affection, and support
