Because every single wrongful death lawsuit is different, every single wrongful death settlement is different. Generally, the value of a wrongful death case is dependent on the number of damages the surviving family members suffer. So if a loved one’s death results in considerable financial difficulties for the family, their case will likely be worth more. But most wrongful death settlements range from $500,000 to $1 million.
