Damages for Families of Lost Loved Ones
When it comes to the damages that could be claimed by loved ones of a family member killed in a vehicle crash, a Cape Coral Attorney can prepare and file a claim for wrongful death damages. Included in these damages are not only the economic loss, such as medical bills, funeral expenses, and lost income, but in some situations a claim for loss of their loved one’s marital relationship can be asserted. Such a claim is often called ‘loss of consortium,’ which is frequently brought to court by the husband or the wifeof the decedent. The loss of consortium can include loss of better half’s love, company, comfort, fondness, consolation, moral help, sexual relations, and real assistance in effectively maintaining a home.
