Pursuing Justice and Fair Compensation for Your Family
Wrongful death claims allow families to get answers to their questions, hold wrongdoers accountable, and protect other families from similar tragic circumstances. They can also help survivors obtain financial compensation for damages such as:
- Loss of income and earning potential (net accumulations)
- Loss of companionship and parental guidance
- Loss of household services
There are also cases in which family members inherit the right to pursue the personal injury claim that the deceased person would have had. Of course, no amount of money can replace your loved one, but it is one thing the legal system has the power to offer to grieving families.
Understanding Florida Wrongful Death Law
Florida's wrongful death laws are complex. In most cases, if someone is married with children, his or her spouse and children under 25 may bring wrongful death claims. If there is no living spouse, children of any age are considered survivors and can bring claims.
In medical malpractice cases, however, children over 25 cannot bring claims, and there are limitations on non-economic damages. Our attorneys can offer your family skilled guidance through the Florida wrongful death claim process. Contact us to discuss your options.
