Are there different factors at play that may impact how much I could be awarded in a wrongful death case?

Yes, there are different factors that may affect the award in a wrongful death lawsuit. Most importantly, to determine the approximate jury amount, your attorney needs to consider who is deemed to be responsible for the death in question.

Many factors go into valuing a wrongful death case. Some of these factors include: what the defendant did to cause the death, who is making the claim, the number of people making a claim, the relationship between you and the deceased, and whether the deceased provided you support. Of course these factors will vary from case to case; therefore, a wrongful death attorney needs to be consulted to give you a realistic range of your wrongful death damages.
