Damages
In the event of a successful claim for damages being made, it is up to the court to decide the magnitude as well as the recipients for the damages awarded. In the case of wrongful death damages awarded to children after the death of a parent, these may vary in magnitude based upon age of the surviving children. Damages awarded for all children usually include mental anguish suffered by the child as well as the loss of companionship of the parents. Any Toronto Personal Injury Lawyer will tell you that children who are minors can obtain wrongful death damages in order to substitute any and all financial contributions the parents would have made towards the raising the child.
