However, proving wrongful death can be very challenging, especially when fault is not immediately apparent. An experienced wrongful death attorney can help you prove the following elements of negligence needed to win a wrongful death case:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Duty of Care<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Simply put, the duty of care means taking reasonable care to protect others\u2019 safety and well-being. This applies to all U.S. citizens, whether it be business owners or individuals. For example, a driver has a duty of care to obey traffic laws and operate their vehicle in a safe manner.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Breach<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A breach of the duty of care is the failure to act in a reasonable or prudent manner, also known as negligence. For example, a driver may breach his or her duty to other road users by texting while driving. If a driver\u2019s brakes failed and caused the accident, this would not be considered a breach because the accident was out of their control.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Causation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The plaintiff (the person suing) must be able to prove that the accident directly caused their loved one\u2019s death. Causation basically means there has to be a connection to the defendant\u2019s negligent actions and the victim\u2019s death.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Damages&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to file a valid wrongful death claim, the plaintiff must show that they suffered financial losses as a result of their loved one\u2019s death. If a husband and father were killed in an accident, then his wife and children would be entitled to the loss of income and support.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"dklaw-toc__block align wp-block-dklaw-toc-block\"><div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Damages Recoverable in a Wrongful Death Claim<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"790\" height=\"527\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-80073\" src=\"https:\/\/dklaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/iStock-1447462383.jpg\" alt=\"Wrongful death settlements\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dklaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/iStock-1447462383.jpg 790w, https:\/\/dklaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/iStock-1447462383-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dklaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/iStock-1447462383-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dklaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/iStock-1447462383-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 790px) 100vw, 790px\" \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two types of damages awarded in wrongful death cases: economic and non-economic damages. These damages are dependent on several factors, including the plaintiff\u2019s relationship to the deceased and the extent of their losses.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Economic Damages<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>These are the direct financial losses that the victim&#8217;s death caused, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-arrow-list\">\n<li>Medical expenses incurred from the injury or illness that caused the death<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Loss of financial support from the deceased<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Loss of inheritance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Loss of household services<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Funeral and burial expenses<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Non-Economic Damages&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>These are intangible losses that do not have a specific dollar amount, but can include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-arrow-list\">\n<li>Loss of care, companionship, comfort, love, affection, guidance, society, and moral support<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The only way to recover punitive damages is through a <a href=\"https:\/\/dklaw.com\/the-fine-print\/how-survival-action-differs-from-wrongful-death-lawsuits-in-california\/\">survival action<\/a>, which can be filed in conjunction with a wrongful death suit. A survival action is meant to compensate surviving family members for medical bills, lost wages, and property damage. These are the most common damages in a personal injury lawsuit.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"dklaw-toc__block align wp-block-dklaw-toc-block\"><div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Contact a Winning Wrongful Death Attorney<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A sudden and unexpected death in the family is an awful thing to experience.
