Although damages cannot resolve the many pains inflicted on a victim’s loved ones when that victim dies in a motor vehicle accident, financial relief and a feeling of justice can help, even in a small way. Even if a victim dies without sustaining extensive medical expenses or other damages, the victim’s children, parents, or spouse can often prevail in claims for lost wages. Depending on the victim’s earning power at time of death, these damages can be quite large, because economic damages are not capped or limited by Maryland law.
