Subscribe via RSS Damages Available to Beneficiaries Part 4: Loss of Society| Toledo, Ohio tragic accident lawyers
Under this category, Ohio tragic death beneficiaries can seek financial compensation for such things as the loss of companionship, care, assistance, protection, advice, guidance, and education provided by the decedent. Obviously, it is difficult to put a dollar figure on these types of damages because they’re not easily quantifiable. For instance, you can’t look in a book to find a figure that would fairly compensate a wife deprived of decades of a future with her deceased husband. That’s the job of your attorney – to place a dollar amount on the loss of a decedent’s society and to justify that amount with a reasoned argument to a jury. Though it’s not readily quantifiable, it’s certainly a huge and legitimate loss to the beneficiaries – a loss for which they deserve to be compensated.
