When a child dies in an accident, parents are often astonished to discover that insurance companies consider a child's life less valuable than that of a wage-earning adult.
In addition to the great emotional pain caused by the death of a son or daughter, parents typically have significant financial losses, including medical expenses, funeral and burial costs. Much worse, however, is the fact that they will live out the rest of their lives without the love and companionship of the deceased child. This loss is incalculable on many levels over a lifetime. Parents understand that the child's life has much more value to a family than any monetary contributions that he or she might have made through income from a future job.
Certainly, there is no amount of money that can compensate you adequately after you have lost a son or daughter in a car accident, a school bus accident, a skiing accident or a sports-related death. You may feel sick at heart over the idea of signing any agreement to receive financial compensation after the death of a beloved child. This is an example of why it is important to talk to an attorney who can maintain an objective voice of reason at a time when it is difficult for you to deal with the emotional pain of loss of your child.
