Braintree, MA personal injury attorney Michael Conley discusses what damages may be awarded in a wrongful death case in MA. He explains that in this jurisdiction, the statutory definition of damages encompasses various elements, including care, society, companionship, advice, support, and more. While this list is not exhaustive, it provides a starting point for assessing the extent of damages. When evaluating the damages in a case, I consider two key aspects: the practical assistance provided (such as help) and the emotional connection and affection (such as love) that have been lost. I encourage the family or survivors to reflect on what they have lost in these two categories. From there, we align these losses with the relevant statutory provisions and incorporate them into the jury instructions.
