Wrongful Death of Children and Elderly

Death of a Child

Once again the value of a life can never truly be determined, especially that of a child’s but the families deserve some form of compensation. Determining the value for a child’s death can be especially complicated. When an adult dies in a wrongful death situation one of the main factors taken into consideration is the loss of their earning capacity to their family. If a father dies the family has a right to be compensated for the loss of his income. A child does not bring in an income. In order to determine the value of a child more guesswork is involved. The courts have to estimate the possible income the child could have earned, the health of the child, and life expectancy of the child. In child wrongful death cases the families often receive very little.

At Dawson Law Group we recognize how unfair the justice system can be in wrongful death cases involving a child. The loss of a child is beyond traumatizing and we sympathize with the families that have had the misfortune of losing a child. The Portland personal injury attorney you hire form our firm will do all in their power to ensure that you receive just compensation for your loss.

Death of the Elderly

Like calculating the monetary value of a child’s wrongful death can be difficult, so is that of the elderly. In wrongful death cases involving the elderly the families usually receive very little. After a certain age it is determined that a person has very little earning capacity. Most of the elderly retire and live off a pension or Social Security. Due to the fact that they are not working to earn an income their families often receive very little.
