Iowa Supreme Court eases damages for deaths in negligence cases
The Iowa Supreme Court, in a 6-3 decision, abandons the rule that survivors may sue only for loss of companionship when a relative is injured but not when they die. The ruling says the loss continues and even widens after death, impacting many cases. The decision stems from a Sacramento County Sac County incident involving a cement truck driver killed in a crash with an Illinois Central Gulf Railroad Co. train.
