Surviving loved ones can recover many different types of damages as part of a wrongful death legal action that goes forward in Lawrenceville. You might recover these damages by way of a settlement, or absent a favorable settlement, through a jury verdict.
When arriving at a damage award, members of the jury will typically consider the activities, places, events, and people that gave significant meaning to the decedent’s life. They can also consider stories, videos, and photographs, along with the sworn testimony of individuals who testify at the time of trial.
