Establishing the Value of a Life Lost
Experienced personal injury lawyer Anthony Laureti has had success in a spectrum of wrongful death cases:
- Car and motorcycle accidents
- Truck accidents
- Pedestrian deaths
- ATV and off-road vehicle accidents
- RV accidents (motor homes and campers)
- Fatal construction accidents
- Police, firefighters and EMTs killed in on-duty accidents
- Other workplace deaths
- Drownings, falls and other premises liability cases
A wrongful death lawsuit requires the same proof of liability as a personal injury case. We have access to investigators, accident reconstructionists and other experts to help prove fault to the satisfaction of the insurance companies — or a California jury.
But the damages available in wrongful death cases are different. Compensation can be sought on behalf of the survivors for loss of consortium, comfort, counsel and services. Our job is to show all the lost contributions — both economic and non-economic. If the person contributed income, we seek replacement of projected earnings. If the family member was the primary caregiver for children or performed household chores, there is a value for that, too. In the case of a child who died, we work to establish the closeness of the relationship with parents and siblings — how much that child's presence and love is missed on a daily basis.
At Laureti and Associates, we are committed to helping clients through this difficult time and a frustratingly long legal process. We stand strong for a fair settlement, and we are prepared to go to trial if the accountable person or entity contests liability or the insurance company is holding back.
