How is the value of my case determined?
We know and understand that no amount of money can replace a loved one or fully compensate anyone for the loss of a human life. However, you deserve to collect for this loss and the personal and economic damages as a result of another's negligence &/or misconduct. In assessing the amount of money that should be paid in a wrongful death case, we will analyze jury verdicts on cases that have similar facts &/or circumstances. In this regard, the age and relative health of the loved one is taken into consideration. Additionally, the life expectancy of the decedent, their income and future earning power, as well as the financial and economic loss to their surviving family member(s). Your case will proceed through negotiation, mediation and litigation. The vast majority of cases settle without a trial, but doing so of necessity results in a compromise. Depending upon the risks vs. benefits, however, your San Diego Wrongful Death Attorneys will help you to choose how you ultimately wish to resolve your case
