In Massachusetts, the main components of wrongful death damages are the loss of the decedent's income and material support, and the loss to the surviving family of their loved one's companionship, guidance, advice, and other intangible factors. In accident cases involving severe conscious pain, the family also succeeds to the victim's claim for pain and suffering damages. Our investigation and development of your wrongful death claim will make sure that all of these elements are thoroughly covered and convincingly presented.

Greater Boston wrongful death attorney Paul Kenney presented a seminar on fatal accident litigation to members of the Massachusetts Bar Association. Additionally, he drew upon his long experience with the negotiation and trial of these claims in writing his article "Maximizing Wrongful Death Damages from Interview to Verdict."
