Many people fail to understand the damages available to them under a wrongful death claim. In this type of lawsuit, you may seek to obtain only special damages. Special damages are items that have identifiable financial costs. This includes:

  • Loss of future earning capacity
  • Funeral expenses
  • Medical care
  • Any out-of-pocket expenses

How does an insurance company calculate the future income of a child or newborn? Many insurance carriers will argue that the future earning capacity of a child who has not yet worked is too speculative to award. They also argue that this income is offset by the savings of not having to raise a child. In these types of cases, it is important to have a lawyer who can stand up and fight for you.

At The Law Office of John A. Meaden, III, we represent clients in wrongful death claims throughout California, including people in Oakland, Alameda County, and San Francisco. Contact us to set up a free initial consultation about your fatal truck or car accident case.
