Losing a loved one is a difficult transition and it is even more difficult when it is due to the negligence or actions of another. The added burden of having to figure out the legal details can prove to be too much bear alone. North Carolina law allows recovery of several types of damages in wrongful death cases including:

  • Medical and hospital expenses
  • Reasonable funeral expenses
  • Pain and suffering of the deceased
  • Future lost net income of deceased
  • Loss of services, care, and assistance that the deceased provided to his or her heirs
  • Loss of the companionship, guidance, and comfort that the deceased provided to his or her heirs
  • Punitive damages, if appropriate
