Economic damages in a wrongful death claim are based on quantifiable financial losses. This includes not just loss of income but also loss of potential future earnings, benefits, and retirement savings that the deceased may have provided.

Calculating these damages requires not only an understanding of the past and present finances but also a projection into what the future might have held had the untimely death not occurred. Our team is proficient in analyzing diverse financial scenarios to arrive at an accurate valuation of your claim.
