The Act establishes the public policy of the state to shift the resulting losses from the survivors of the decedent to the wrongdoer. There are numerous wrongful death situations, which include, but are not limited to:
- airplane accidents, motorcycle accidents, or automobile accidents
- criminal attacks
- medical mistakes or medical malpractice

Wrongful Death Damages
When the lawsuit goes to court, the judge or jury may award pecuniary damages to the grieving family. Pecuniary damages are economic damages, or more commonly described as “out of pocket” losses suffered by the aggrieved family.
The aggrieved family may be awarded funeral and medical expenses, pain and suffering, loss of companionship and more. Additionally, in some instances, punitive damages may be awarded. Punitive damages are meant to punish wrongful conduct by the negligent party.
A judge or jury may impose punitive damages when the action is intentional, reckless, or grossly negligent and results in the death of another party, Punitive damages are meant to punish the offending party and discourage similar acts in the future.
