Wrongful Death
Frequently Asked Questions for Palm Beach Accident Lawyers
Q: My fiancée was seriously hurt in a drunk driving accident in Palm Beach. He later died in the hospital. Can I file a wrongful death lawsuit against the drunk driver who caused the crash?
A: First, we want to extend our condolences for your loss. We can only imagine how difficult this time must be for you.
In Florida, the “survivors” who can obtain damages in a wrongful death suit include the surviving spouse, children and parents, as well as blood relatives or adopted siblings who are dependant on the decedent for support or services. Unfortunately, the Florida Wrongful Death Statute does not list a fiancée as an eligible survivor.
