Actually, quite technically Yorick, you are grouping all the damages under only the "Loss of Income" and "Loss of Consortium" portions of the lawsuit. Part of those damages are awarded to the Estate, i.e. the injured person, to pay for his pain and suffering and wrongful death. So, while society may view it the way you mention, the law certainly views the $1 mil. + pain and suffering as the value of the life itself.
