Mike Bruno here with the Boyk Law Office. The question is
who recovers what in a wrongful death case,
and you have to remember a wrongful death case is brought by the survivors and that
is
who are the beneficiaries of the wrongfully
killed person's estate? We're talking about a surviving spouse. We're
talking about
children. We're talking about parents, anyone who can prove they had a
relationship with this person
that suffered a loss, and then it becomes
a question for the probate court to make a determination as to who gets
what once a case is settled or gone to a jury verdict.
