Boston Wrongful Death Attorney
At this time, the police investigation into this crash is ongoing. It would, therefore, be speculation to say which driver may be legally responsible for this crash. However, when a death occurs in Massachusetts due to the negligence of another, the heirs of the deceased may bring a claim for wrongful death against the responsible party.
We know that no amount of money can replace the friend or family member who has been taken too soon by the negligence of another. However, in these types of situations, the law does provide certain remedies to those left behind.
There are several forms of compensation available in Massachusetts wrongful death cases, including:
- Funeral and burial expenses
- Compensation for loss of services and companionship
- Lost future income
- Loss of comfort
- Medical bills incurred for treatment
- Punitive damages**
**Punitive damages are a special type of damages available only in certain cases. These are extreme damages, meant to punish the wrongdoer for especially negligent or reckless conduct. Only an experienced Boston wrongful death attorney can advise you whether the facts of your case could support a punitive damages award.
