Q: What are the guidelines for determining the amount of compensation?

A: The amount of compensation is a very complicated question. Representatives can sue for medical care bills paid for the injured person and for burial expenses. But more important aspects are pain and economic suffering incurred by the absence of the person who died. The determination of the amount of damages requires careful consideration of what would have occurred in the future. The assessed damages usually include but are not limited to the predicted estimated future earnings of a deceased person, and pain and suffering experienced by the representatives due to the absence of a deceased person. Estimating the predicted future earnings involves expert testimony including the deceased party’s future earning capacity. Let us handle these complex matters while you rest assured that we are striving to attain the best possible compensation for your family, because at Davis, Davis, Davis, and Davis we are committed to your case.
