Question:
What calculated damages are available on a wrongful death claim?
Answer:
I’ve talked to a lot of clients who have lost loved ones through someone else’s negligence. It’s a tough situation. How do you evaluate what a life was worth? How do you evaluate what the damages are? I always respond with, at a minimum, the insurance company’s policy limits. Policy limits is the maximum amount that this particular policy has. Here in Texas, the minimum limits for an automotive liability policy is $30,000. Obviously, $30,000 if someone’s been killed is never going to represent the true value of that life, but the policy limits what it’s worth every time because somebody lost their life. You have different situations with different policies. Maybe the policy is $1 million so that policy gets paid out for $1 million. Every time it’s policy limits. Somebody lost their life. They paid the ultimate price for somebody else’s screw up. It’s always policy limits.
