What Are Survivors Entitled To?
As the spouse, parent, sibling or child of a victim of wrongful death, you may be entitled to compensation for funeral expenses; medical expenses; loss of current and future economic support; and the loss of love, affection and guidance. It is imperative that our experienced wrongful death attorney in San Mateo evaluates your claim prior to you accepting any settlement offers.
Punitive Damages In A Wrongful Death Case
In the case of a fatal accident resulting from gross negligence and willful disregard for others’ safety, punitive damages may be awarded as part of a wrongful death verdict.
