Don't understand the question. What "damages" are you referrig to? In cases of unattended death, or death by criminal action it is not an optional procedure. Most/(all?) states REQUIRE an autopsy be performed in order to determine the precise cause of death. .
Actual damages refer to the direct losses or harm suffered by a party as a result of a breach of contract or wrongful act, such as medical expenses or lost wages. Incidental damages, on the other hand, are secondary costs incurred as a consequence of the breach, including expenses related to mitigating the loss, like storage fees or transportation costs. Essentially, actual damages address the primary loss, while incidental damages cover additional, related expenses that arise from the situation.

The amount you can sue for after wrongful imprisonment varies widely based on factors such as the jurisdiction, the specifics of the case, and the damages incurred. In some cases, individuals may seek compensation for lost wages, emotional distress, legal fees, and other related costs. Some states have specific statutes that outline compensation limits for wrongful imprisonment. It's advisable to consult with a legal professional to assess the potential for a lawsuit and the applicable compensation in your situation.

In most states if a landlord locks out the tenant for any reason, or forces the tenant to move out by turning off utilities or any other means than to start eviction proceedings in court, the landlord could be arrested for illegal eviction. They would generally be liable for the damages cause by wrongful eviction including possibly having to pay for the interim accommodations of the tenant until they can find another place to rent, storage of the tenants household effects, return of the security and damage deposits (having forfeited them by the wrongful eviction), if not triple damages, court costs and lawyer's fees of the tenants.

There is usually no limit to the amount a court or jury can award the plaintiff in a civil lawsuit against the police, although some states do have award caps on civil liability lawsuits. Juries have been known to award very large amounts to plaintiffs, only to have the judge in the case reduce the award to what he believes is a more just figure. There are four categories of awards:Actual damages: those that can be measured precisely, such as medical costs, list wages, property replacement or repair costs, etc.Compensatory damages: for injuries that are not precisely quantifiable, such as pain and suffering, emotional trauma, loss of consortium, etc.Punitive damages: money paid purely to punish the defendant and discourage them and others from similar conduct in the future. In lawsuits against the police, the police department usually pays any actual and compensatory damages, but punitive damages are assessed against the officer(s) personally.Costs: attorney's fees, investigative costs, and other costs incurred in prosecuting the lawsuit. These costs often outweigh all of the other award amounts combined.Juries are sometimes not so fast to award large damage amounts when police (as opposed to private businesses or individuals) are the defendants, as the costs of paying those damages comes out of tax dollars. The taxpayer is ultimately the loser in the lawsuit.
