One fire, two kinds of loss
A structure fire killed one member of a family and left others with burn injuries. Cases like this carry both claims at once — a wrongful death claim for the person who did not survive, and burn claims for the people who did — and the survivors carry their injuries through every step of the case brought for the person they lost.
The case resolved in state court in Harris County, Texas for $18,000,000.
