This often includes economic losses like medical bills incurred before death, funeral and burial expenses, lost income and future earning capacity of the deceased, and loss of benefits. Non-economic damages may include pain and suffering of the deceased, loss of companionship, comfort, and support for surviving family members, and emotional distress.
