What Is a Wrongful Death Claim?

Under Florida law, a wrongful death claim may arise when a person dies because of another party’s negligence, carelessness, misconduct, or intentional wrongdoing.

Wrongful death cases may involve:

  • Car accidents
  • Truck accidents
  • Motorcycle accidents
  • Drunk driving accidents
  • Medical negligence
  • Dangerous property conditions
  • Workplace accidents
  • Defective products
  • Nursing home negligence
  • Criminal acts

These cases are often complex and require a thorough investigation to determine liability and damages.

Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim in Florida?

Florida wrongful death claims are generally brought on behalf of surviving family members through the personal representative of the deceased person’s estate.

Eligible surviving family members may include:

  • Spouses
  • Children
  • Parents
  • Other dependent relatives

Compensation may vary depending on the circumstances of the case and the relationship to the deceased.

What Damages May Be Available?

A wrongful death claim may allow surviving family members to recover compensation for:

  • Funeral and burial expenses
  • Medical expenses related to the final injury or illness
  • Loss of financial support
  • Loss of companionship and guidance
  • Mental pain and suffering
  • Loss of future income and benefits

Every wrongful death case is unique, and the long-term financial and emotional impact on a family can be substantial.

  • Speeding
  • Reckless driving
  • Commercial trucking negligence
  • Unsafe premises

Why Legal Representation Matters

Wrongful death cases often involve:
