RECOVERABLE DAMAGES FOR WRONGFUL DEATH IN SOUTH CAROLINA
Broadly speaking, wrongful death suits can yield two types of damages: economic and non-economic damages.
Economic damages are those that can be measured such as medical expenses, funeral costs, future earnings for dependents, or other damages where the amount owed by the responsible party is identifiable.
Non-economic damages generally cover those damages that might not be readily measured and are determined by the trier of fact, or the jury. Emotional distress is typically the first to come to mind. Recovering those non-economic damages is typically one of the most important parts of a wrongful death lawsuit.
