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 who depended on the deceased for financial or emotional support, may be able to file a lawsuit seeking monetary damages to compensate for their loss. This can include spouses, children, parents, other relatives, and adopted siblings. However, Florida law requires these claims to be filed within a certain time frame. As such, it is important to contact an experienced Miami Lakes wrongful death attorney 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 pursue an effective lawsuit.

Do You Have a Wrongful Death Claim?

If you’ve lost a loved one due to another person’s negligence or reckless behavior, you may have grounds for a wrongful death lawsuit. To successfully resolve this type of case, our Miami Lakes wrongful death lawyers must prove that the responsible party owed the victim a duty of care, breached that duty through negligent or wrongful conduct, and that the fatal injuries were a direct result of that breach.

 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 damages are intended to compensate surviving family members for financial losses, including medical expenses, funeral costs, lost future earnings, lost benefits, and loss of inheritance.
• Non-Economic Damages – These damages compensate surviving family members for intangible losses, including mental anguish, pain and suffering, loss of care and nurturing, and loss of companionship.
