Madison, Wisconsin is in the heart of an agricultural community where family farms and big operations coexist.

Under our statute here in Wisconsin, damages are awarded for the present value of probable contributions the deceased would have made to the survivors had the deceased lived, and for the pecuniary value of the services the decedent would have rendered to the survivors. In plain English, this usually means the amount of money the deceased would have earned and contributed to survivors. For minors, this includes the value of a parent’s training, guidance, nurture and education. Further, recovery is allowed for medical expenses, funeral and burial expenses, and the amount of the probable inheritance the deceased would have left to the survivors, by either will or intestate succession, had the decedent lived out his normal life span.
