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, statutory damages encompass a range of elements, including care, companionship, advice, support, and other related factors. While this list is not exhaustive, it serves as a framework for evaluating the full extent of damages. In assessing a case, he considers two primary aspects: the practical assistance that has been lost, such as help, and the emotional connection and affection, such as love. He encourages the family or survivors to reflect on their losses within these two categories. These considerations are then aligned with the applicable statutory provisions and incorporated into the jury instructions.
