9.06 Damages (Death Case) are a type of damages awarded in wrongful death cases. These damages are awarded to the family of a deceased individual who has been killed due to the negligence or intentional harm of another person or entity. These damages are intended to compensate the family for the loss of life, including the economic and emotional losses associated with the death. 9.06 Damages may include medical and funeral expenses, loss of spousal companionship, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Additionally, punitive damages may be awarded if the death was caused by gross negligence or intentional harm. There are two types of 9.06 Damages (Death Case): compensatory damages and punitive damages. Compensatory damages are intended to reimburse the family for economic losses associated with the death and to compensate them for their emotional suffering. Punitive damages are intended to punish the defendant for the harm caused and to discourage future similar behavior.
