My husband worked for the local Toyota plant in Georgetown, Kentucky prior to his tragic death on I-64 by a speeding driver. I am very concerned that my family and I will not have sufficient income to financially survive through my retirement due to this disastrous event. What types of compensation is typically recoverable in a wrongful death case by a lawyer?

A:

Typically, in a Kentucky wrongful death case the at-fault person will be forced to pay certain types of compensation to the victim's estate and family members.  Ask your attorney for specific information, but in general, these include the following:

1)         Funeral and burial expenses

2)         Medical bills, if any incurred after the injury, but before death

3)         Pain and suffering, if any experienced by the deceased before death

4)         Loss of the deceased's future income

5)         The value of the deceased's life apart from the earnings capacity.
