Wrongful Death

In wrongful death cases, our economists provide compassionate and precise economic analyses to help surviving family members receive fair compensation. We evaluate the full spectrum of financial losses suffered by survivors, presenting clear and defensible calculations for litigation.

Damages We Calculate

• Lost income support — The portion of the decedent's earnings that would have been available to the family
• Lost fringe benefits — Health insurance, retirement, life insurance, and other benefits
• Lost household services — Value of childcare, home maintenance, and other domestic contributions
• Lost parental guidance — Economic value of nurturing and guidance for minor children
• Lost inheritance — Estate accumulation the survivors would have received

Our Approach

We understand the sensitive nature of these cases and approach each with appropriate care while maintaining rigorous economic analysis:

Jurisdictional Knowledge

Wrongful death damage calculations vary significantly by jurisdiction. We are familiar with the statutory frameworks and case law in Wisconsin, Minnesota, and other states where we practice, ensuring our analyses comply with applicable legal standards.
