Are there damages to be collected if my loved one has died due to someone elses negligence?

 

A: In Virginia there are laws that provide an outline for the amount of compensation that can be awarded after a loved one has died due to the negligence of another person. The law states that a person may collect compensation under the following:

  • Pain and Suffering
  • Medical bills that accumulated due to the injury resulting in death
  • Reasonably expected loss of income and help the deceased provided
  • Reasonable Funeral Expenses
  • Punitive Damages may be recovered if the conduct of the defendant was without regard for others, such as driving under the influence.
