As a survivor of a loved one, what kind of damages may I recover in a Wrongful Death claim?

Following the agony of the death of a loved one it is extremely important to research the events that led up to the death, properly store any evidence, and discover the party at fault.

In certain locations some of the damages may not be an option, depending on the jurisdiction. Some of the damages listed may be difficult to prove in a court of law. Punitive damages, which are pursued to punish the defendant, may also be difficult to prove, thus calling for a larger amount of proof.
