Provides for certain additional damages to be awarded in wrongful death action if decedent was below age of majority at time of death.

Summary

This bill allows courts to award additional damages in wrongful death lawsuits if the person who died was a minor. It affects families who have lost a child by providing them with greater financial compensation to account for their unique loss. This matters because current law may not fully recognize the profound impact of losing a child who has not yet reached adulthood.
