The personal representative in a wrongful death claim can recover damages for all expenses caused by the wrongful death, including medical bills, ambulance rides, burial and memorial expenses, and lost wages. The personal representative can also recover monetary damages for the loss of future income your loved one would have earned throughout their entire life, pensions and other pecuniary loss. The decedent’s beneficiaries can also be compensated for the loss of society and companionship of the decedent. Punitive damages may also be available when the death is caused by severe reckless, egregiousness or intentional conduct.
The statute of limitations on a wrongful death claim is generally three years. The claim must be brought by a personal representative approved by the court in the county where the decedent died or resided. Time is of the essence when it comes to the appointment of a personal representative.
