In order to prove the facts they might need to call on sworn testimony of witnesses. These types of lawsuits require a skilled attorney who is proficient in the area of wrongful death. They will do everything to ensure justice for your family. Funeral expenses, lost income in the future and loss of companionship are all a part of the wrongful-death damages. Punitive damages are awarded in extremely rare instances to punish the offender for their reckless conduct.
