The law allows for financial compensation for the loss of a family member, recognizing the significant position that this person held. An experienced lawyer will emphasize the strength and importance of the relationship with the deceased, in order to properly convey the depth of your loss.
Family members may be entitled non-pecuniary and pecuniary loss claims. Non-pecuniary losses involve claims for losses that are not inherently monetary in value, such as the loss of care, guidance, and companionship. Pecuniary claims involve financial losses, such as loss of income or funeral and internment expenses.
