The primary motivation behind most wrongful death cases is not money, but justice. Yet civil justice can only be measured by the amount of damages recovered and full and fair recovery is necessary to ensure that:
» The wrongdoer fully takes safety into account in its future actions.
» The family of the deceased knows that the full value of their loss has been recognized and appreciated.
