(1) In the case of death, compensation must be made by reimbursing the costs of an attempted cure as well as the costs incurred by the pecuniary disadvantage sustained by the deceased party as a result of the suspension or reduction of his or her earning capacity or the resultant increase in his or her needs for the duration of the illness. The party liable to pay damages must furthermore reimburse the funeral costs to the party who is responsible for defraying these expenses.
(2) If at the time of the injury, the deceased party maintained a relationship with a third party by virtue of which he or she was or was liable to come under the legal obligation to support this third party and if the third party was deprived of the right to maintenance as a result of the death, the party liable to pay damages must indemnify the third party, guaranteeing maintenance to the extent to which the deceased party would have been liable for the length of lifespan he or she would probably have had. Liability for damages also arises if, at the time of injury, the third party had been conceived but not yet born.
(3) The party liable to pay damages must make appropriate financial compensation to the surviving dependent who at the time of the injury was in a particularly close personal relationship with the deceased party for the emotional distress caused to the surviving dependent. A particularly close personal relationship is assumed when the surviving dependent was the spouse, the life partner, a parent or a child of the deceased party.
