In the case of the death of a parent who leaves a surviving spouse and dependent children, a claim may be made for the economic loss suffered by them. Economic loss is not limited to loss of earnings alone. Loss of services to the decedent’s spouse as well as loss of parental care and guidance to the decedent’s children may be claimed.

It is imperative that your personal injury attorney fully understand the Statute and meticulously prepare the case in order to fully prove your economic loss and get you the maximum amount of money possible.
