Compensation for Your Family’s Struggles
Our wrongful death attorneys evaluate each Fort Myers case to catalog:
- Medical bills
- End-of-life care
- Memorial and funeral costs
- Burial or cremation expenses
Depending on your family member’s injuries, you may have high medical bills from their emergency and hospice care. A study by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), for example, found that inpatient care for traumatic brain injuries can cost 74 percent more than other injuries. Eligible expenses don’t just include costs your family incurred after your loved one’s passing—any medical care related to the accident qualifies.
Honoring the deceased is equally important. They should receive a funeral that accords with their wishes. As the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) points out in its funeral cost checklist, commemorating your lost loved one can involve several steps and expenses. Our lawyers can walk you through these expenses to ensure they receive consideration in any settlement.
Compensation for What Your Loved One Represented
This loss doesn’t just represent a financial burden. You lost someone important to you who provided counsel, economic stability, and intimacy. To account for that, damages can cover:
- Income they provided for your family
- Guidance they provided for children
- Support they provided for spouses
- Pain and suffering you both experienced
