Funeral costs

Reasonable funeral costs that may be recoverable after a fatal harmful event.

In brief

For fatal injuries, section 1327 ABGB provides for reasonable funeral costs. Close relatives may also have further statutory claims.

The legal basis, reasonableness of the expenditure and who paid it must be examined.
