Non-economic damages account for the intangible losses close family members suffer, including:
Non-economic damages are capped according to state law. Currently, the cap is $950,000 for one claimant and $1,425,000 for two or more.

Regan Zambri Long consults with economists and life planners to develop a full understanding of how this loss will impact your family for years to come. A wrongful death takes a devastating toll on the deceased person’s family. Financial compensation does not restore what was lost, but it ensures that the surviving family can grieve without financial stress. Call Regan Zambri Long today so we can recover compensation that meets your family’s needs.

Wrongful death claims are complicated and overwhelming in the midst of your grief. It’s never in your best interest to try to handle a claim on your own. If the personal representative or another close family member has initiated a suit, you may still want to consult with a lawyer to ensure the case is properly filed.
Surviving beneficiaries can claim compensation through two types of suits. A wrongful death claim compensates surviving family members for the loss of their loved one, including economic damages and non-economic damages. A survival action is compensation for the pain, suffering, and financial losses the victim suffered due to the personal injury that caused their death.
Depending on the cause of wrongful death, an insurance company will likely be involved. You may need to deal with a life insurance representative, a negligent driver’s auto insurance representative, or another insurance adjuster. It’s important to remember that insurance companies operate as businesses. Their primary goal is to make money, even if it means victims do not receive the compensation they are due.
