how much should I expect from a wrongful death lawsuit?

Answer 1

It depends primarily on the cause, but generally it's in the millions, if you can prove it, that is.

Answer 2

Your question is impossible to answer for a number of reasons. First, the laws on wrongful death cases vary widely from state to state. Second, and more importantly, you haven't posted any facts about the case.

One of the biggest portion of damages is the lost income during the decedent's life time. If the accident victim is a 30-year-old make $100K per year and is married with 2 young children, the settlement in that case will be much higher that if the accident victim was 70, retired and had no dependents.

Answer 3

The value of a wrongful death claim is generally determined by figuring out the earning potential of the deceased. If you are the executor of the estate, add any unpaid expenses to the claim.

Answer 4

It depends on what the lawyers cut is. If you don't know that, they could milk you for most of it.
Drop your lawsuit, pray to God for strength in your situation, know that the dead one has the wonderful opportunity for resurrection and forgiveness, and forgive the parties. It will be the most mentally healthy thing you'll ever do for yourself.
