The loss of a loved one doesn't count in just a lost income, but also the immeasurable loss of the society, love and companionship of that individual. While no amount of money can replace the emptiness left by the departure of a loved one, Utah law attempts to compensate by recognizing a claim on behalf of the heirs.
Constitutional Importance
The framer's of the Utah constitution wisely recognized the need to protect against lobbying efforts by corporate and insurance interests seeking to eliminate a claim for the loss of a loved one. As part of Utah's constitution, each citizen in this State holds the right to open courts and constitutional protection for wrongful death claims.

The individual filing such a claim represents not only themselves, but also acts on behalf of all heirs in pursuing the claim.
