A skilled California wrongful death lawyer can employ a variety of tactics and seek different potential insurance coverages to maximize payouts for clients. Let’s look at some of the ways they do this.
By reviewing all available coverage options and skillfully negotiating with adjusters, your attorney can fight for the maximum settlement or court award.
The lawyers in TopDogLaw Personal Injury Lawyers’ network are fully committed to helping their clients receive the damages they’re entitled to in wrongful death cases.
Economic Damages. This type of compensation aims to cover losses directly resulting from a wrongful death.
Damages include:
Non-Economic Damages. This category addresses losses often referred to as noneconomic losses, such as:
Punitive Damages. In cases where the defendant’s behavior leading to death is deemed reckless or egregious, the court may punish them by awarding you additional punitive damages.
The specific amount of compensation for damages for wrongful death varies – based on factors such as the age of the deceased, their income level, family size, and the circumstances surrounding their death.
Wrongful death claimants include the surviving spouse or domestic partner or children or minor children who were dependent on the decedent for half or more financial support when they were alive.
The larger part of a settlement for wrongful death goes to the surviving spouse and/or children, and the remainder is divided equally among the other parties.
Calculate Precise Actual Losses – Your lawyer will retain financial experts to produce ironclad economic projections of all lost income, benefits, services, and support your family has suffered. Detailed actuarial data leaves less room for insurers to undermine losses.
Maximize Non-Economic Damages – Adjusters often minimize intangible damages. Your lawyer will gather wrenching testimony and evidence that conveys the real emotional devastation to demand higher payouts.
Litigate Aggressively – Your attorney is fully ready to take cases to civil court when offers are unsatisfactory, a strategy we leverage during settlement talks. The attorneys we work with have strong records of success litigating cases, which puts pressure on insurers.
The wrongful death lawyers in TopDog’s network have the advocacy skills and resources to stand up to corporate interests and fight for what your family deserves. With an attorney by your side, you can focus on healing while they handle the legal fight.
