Compensation in a Drowning Accident Case
The facts and circumstances surrounding a drowning accident dictate the nature and extent of compensation potentially available. In addition, the laws on the books in a particular state play a role in determining compensation for surviving family members of a drowning accident victim.
With that understood, there are certain injuries, damages, and losses for which you may be entitled to compensation in your case. These include:
- Mental Anguish and Emotional Distress
- Loss of Companionship
- Loss of Consortium
- Loss of Income
- Last Medical Bills
- Funeral Expenses
Depending on the circumstances surrounding a drowning accident, you may also be entitled to what are known as punitive or exemplary damages. Punitive damages represent extra compensation when the conduct of the party responsible for causing a drowning accident is deemed to be particularly reckless. They are awarded in drowning accident lawsuits in some cases.
Punitive damages are designed to do more than provide you with additional financial recovery. They are also intended to serve as a punishment of a particularly egregious party.
