Law Offices of Marc L. Shapiro - April 2020

‘Complete Professionals’

It can be difficult to put yourself through a wrongful death case when you’re in mourning. No matter the outcome, filing a lawsuit cannot bring back the loved one you’ve lost. However, when that loss is the result of another person’s negligence, surviving family members are entitled to damages. These include damages for the survivors’ pain and suffering, as well as damages for loss of care or companionship. There are also economic damages to consider. If you lose a spouse who provided income to the household, the financial burden of losing that income can add to the strain of losing your loved one. This is why wrongful death claims allow survivors to claim damage for future potential lost earnings. Unfortunately, proving these earnings can be incredibly difficult. If someone earns a regular paycheck, their tax returns can be used to calculate how much they could have earned in the future. However, not all income comes in the form of a regular paycheck. In the case of Kobe Bryant, though the NBA legend was no longer playing basketball, he was involved in many projects that could have resulted in potential earnings. How do you calculate what these earnings might have been? This same question comes up when the victim is a real estate agent, a car dealer, an attorney, or some other individual whose income varied from month to month. Being able to claim these economic damages can help alleviate the financial burden so you can focus on mourning with your family. Calculating future potential earnings requires skill. If you need to file a wrongful death claim, call (239) 649-8050 and speak with an experienced attorney who can help you get the damage you deserve after your loss.
