pecuniary loss:
(17c)

1. A loss of money or of something having monetary value. [1]

1. A loss of money or of something by which money or something of money value may be acquired.  Dow v Legg, 120 Neb  271, 231 NW 747, 74 ALR 5, Green v Hudson River Railroad Co. (NY) 32 Barb 25, 33.
     As this term is used in death statutes allowing the “pecuniary damages” resulting to the beneficiaries to be recovered in an action, the words are not used in a sense of the immediate loss of money or property, but they look to the prospective advantages of a pecuniary nature which have been cut off by the premature death of the person from whom they have proceeded.  22 Am J2d Dth § 123. [2]

1. A loss of money; a loss by which money, or that which has a monetary value, may be acquired.  As used in connection with a wrongful death action, the beneficiaries’ economic loss due to the premature death of the decedent. [3]
