Wrongful death damages usually depend upon the relationship of the plaintiff to the deceased. Specific wrongful death damages available to parents include loss of companionship and mental anguish caused by their child''s death. Wrongful death damages in the death of a minor child may include potential financial contributions from said child. Wrongful death damages for spouses include loss of companionship, potential financial contributions, and mental anguish. The wrongful death damages awarded to children after the death of a parent vary based upon age. Wrongful death damages for all children usually include mental anguish and loss of companionship. Minors can recover wrongful death damages for monies the deceased would have contributed to raising the child. Adult children who claim wrongful death damages can include the sum the parent would reasonably and probably have contributed to them. Occasionally, wrongful death damages include loss of inheritance, as well as punitive damages. In many cases, wrongful death damages may be awarded to any member of the deceased''s estate (anyone named in the will). In a number of states, wrongful death claims include the full value of the life of the defendant, without subtracting any expenses. Wrongful death claims also generally cover medical and funeral expenses, as well as pain and suffering before death.
