Wrongful Death
No one ever expects to face the sudden loss of a spouse, child, or parent. Tremendous emotional trauma and grief are rightfully the normal, common responses to the unexpected death of a loved one, and legal action may not be in the foreground of your thoughts.
However, there is a time limit that exists to file a claim, and families are often exposed to significant financial pressure when a major contributing family member passes away. The compensation from a wrongful death lawsuit can greatly help ease the pain and reduce the stress of the unexpected loss.
A wrongful death action involves filing a claim for damages resulting from the victim’s death against a negligent person. Florida has established a wrongful death statutes that grant the “survivors” of a decedent to recover compensation. These “survivors” are illustrated under the statute as:
The decedent’s spouse.
The decedent’s children born of a marriage.
The decedent’s parents.
Any blood relatives partly or wholly dependent on the decedent for support or services.
Any adoptive brothers and sisters partly or wholly dependent on the decedent for support or services.
The wrongful death of a family member as the result of someone else’s negligence or carelessness is a tragedy. Consulting a qualified wrongful death attorney is an important first step in protecting your rights and ensuring a fair recovery for your loss.
