If a person is killed because of the fault of someone else, the family of the deceased may recover damages for their loss. These damages include compensation for their loss of financial support, loss of companionship, loss of assistance, and funeral and burial expenses.
The court appoints a trustee to represent all of the family members in a wrongful death claim. The attorney for the family presents the request to appoint a trustee to a judge. The trustee and the attorney for the family then work together to recover fair compensation for the family members.
