WHAT IS A WRONGFUL DEATH?

A wrongful death happens because of another person’s deliberate, careless, or negligent act. Any sudden death of a loved one is hard to bear, but knowing that it never should have happened makes it that much harder. In these cases, you, your family, and the deceased’s estate have the legal right to recover compensation from the person, company, or other entity that caused the death, by initiating a wrongful death action.

In many cases, the same types of accidents or events that can cause injury to have the potential to be more catastrophic and cause wrongful death. Our experienced attorneys have successfully represented the families of victims who lost a loved one due to:

FAMILY OF THE VICTIM

If you are suffering from the wrongful death of a family member, you may be feeling overwhelming grief and anger. You may feel so devastated and depressed that you aren’t able to handle the legal tasks required to make a claim against the person responsible for the death, but it is important to do so now for several reasons:

• Justice: It won’t bring the person back and it won’t stop your pain, but holding the wrongdoer accountable for the harm you’ve suffered can help to bring closure, an important part of the grieving process.
• Financial relief: Your family may have relied on the deceased person for financial support, and that loss of income may be creating a financial hardship. Besides, you may have funeral expenses and possibly final medical bills, if the death was not immediate. Your emotional suffering, in this case, is only compounded by financial distress.
• Legal time limits, also called Statutes of Limitations: In Florida statute of limitations is two years from the date of death.
