Overview of Wrongful Death Claims

When an individual dies due to the negligence or misconduct of another in the state of Florida, the surviving family members, or any relative that depended on the deceased for financial or emotional support, can file a suit to seek monetary damages to compensate for their loss. This can include spouses, children, parents, other relatives and adopted siblings. However, Florida law requires that a suit needs to be filed within a certain time frame. As such, it’s important to contact a Miami or Naples wrongful death attorney for counsel as soon as possible. We understand that taking legal action may be the last thing on your mind as you deal with the trauma of such a loss, but we encourage you to act quickly to preserve your ability to file an effective lawsuit.

Do You Have a Wrongful Death Claim?

If you’ve lost a loved one due to another individual’s negligence or reckless behavior, you may have a wrongful death suit. To effectively win or settle this type of case, our team of Naples and Miami wrongful death lawyers will need to prove that the individual at fault had a duty of care to the victim, that this duty was breached by their actions, and that the fatality was a direct result of that abandonment. The most common types of wrongful death claims include:

• Automobile or Trucking Accidents
• Workplace Accidents
• Medical Malpractice
• Premise Liability
• Product Liability
• Nursing Home Accidents

Types of Recoverable Damages from a Wrongful Death Claim

If you’ve lost a loved one due to someone else’s negligent or reckless behavior, you and your family may be entitled to economic and non-economic damages.

• Economic Damages – These types of damages are intended to cover the loss of financial support for the surviving family members. This commonly includes medical expenses, funeral costs, the loss of the deceased’s future earnings, the loss of benefits and the loss of an inheritance.
• Non-Economic Damages – These are intended to cover the intangible losses the surviving family members experience including mental anguish; pain and suffering; the loss of care and nurturing; and the loss of companionship, among others.
