Wrongful Death
If a family member’s death was caused by another person’s wrongful act, you may be able to pursue a Florida wrongful death lawsuit.
Losing a loved one is both tragic and overwhelming. Many people who unexpectedly lose a family member are left not only with immense grief, but also fear of how they are going to support themselves emotionally and financially. The compensation from a wrongful death suit won’t take the place of the loss you feel, but it will help with expenses and lost financial support that may have been caused by the death.
It is an unfortunate fact that individuals frequently suffer fatal injuries caused by the negligence of others.
Some of the common causes of wrongful death cases include:
Medical malpractice
Nursing home abuse/ elder abuse
Auto accident
18-wheeler accident
Motorcycle accident
Bicycle accident
Pedestrian accident
Defective product or equipment

What is a Wrongful Death Claim?
Under the Florida Wrongful Death Act, if someone’s death was caused by a wrongful act, negligence, default or breach of contract or warranty of another person, the surviving family members and/or estate can initiate a wrongful death claim to recover damages. These damages are meant to compensate the family both emotionally and financially. For example, in a wrongful death case, you can pursue compensation for lost support and services or loss of companionship. There are many different types of damages available that depend on the relationship you had with your loved one.
