If one person’s negligence takes the life of another, money is the only remedy that our civil laws have to offer. Money isn’t a substitute for a life, but it can help the survivors endure life that no longer includes their loved one. Further, one person’s lawsuit may also benefit society. Being forced to pay a monetary penalty may cause defendants to correct their negligent practices and help avoid similar tragedies in the future.
