PASSAGE
A person was killed in an industrial accident due to the negligence of their employer. The decedent is survived by a spouse. The decedent, who had a remaining work-life expectancy of 10 years, contributed $60,000 per year in financial support to the household. The present value of this future loss of support is calculated to be $450,000. The decedent also performed household services (repairs, childcare, etc.) valued at $15,000 per year; the present value of this loss is $110,000. The surviving spouse experienced profound grief, for which a therapist has recommended treatment costing $20,000. The jurisdiction's wrongful death statute permits recovery for pecuniary losses, including loss of support and services, but not for the survivors' grief or sorrow.
In a wrongful death action, what is the maximum amount the surviving spouse can recover? Select one.
