Seeking Justice Through Florida Wrongful Death Claims
When a loved one's death is caused by the negligence or wrongdoing of another, Florida law provides a path for justice and financial recovery. A "wrongful death" claim allows surviving family members and the deceased's estate to seek compensation for their profound losses. With over a decade of experience, we understand the complexities of these cases and are committed to guiding you through this difficult time.
Who Can File a Claim?
In Florida, a wrongful death lawsuit must be filed by the personal representative of the deceased person's estate. This individual acts on behalf of the estate and the survivors.
Recoverable Damages
Damages in a wrongful death case are designed to compensate both the deceased's survivors and the estate.
For Survivors, this may include:
Loss of financial support and services.
Loss of companionship, protection, and guidance.
Medical and funeral expenses are paid by a survivor.
Mental pain and suffering (for a surviving spouse, minor children, and in some cases, parents).
For the Estate, this may include:
The deceased's lost earnings from the date of injury to the date of death.
The value of the estate that the deceased would have accumulated.
Medical and funeral expenses became a charge against the estate.
Statute of Limitations
It is critical to act quickly. Generally, a wrongful death lawsuit must be filed within two years from the date of death. There can be exceptions, so it is essential to consult with an attorney as soon as possible.
