Lost a Loved One Due to Negligence? Here's What You Need to Know
Wrongful death cases are emotionally challenging and legally complex. Florida’s Wrongful Death Act sets out specific rules about who can bring a claim, what can be recovered, and how long you have to act.
Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim in Florida
Under Florida law, a wrongful death claim is filed by the personal representative of the deceased person’s estate—not by family members individually. The personal representative brings the case on behalf of the estate and the surviving family members, known as “survivors,” which can include the spouse, children, parents, and certain blood relatives who depended on the deceased for support. We guide families through appointing a personal representative and identifying everyone entitled to recover.
What Compensation Can Be Recovered
Surviving family members and the estate may be entitled to significant damages. We help you recover compensation for:
- Medical expenses related to the final injury or illness
- Funeral and burial costs
- Lost income, support, and services the deceased provided
- Loss of companionship, guidance, and protection
- Mental pain and anguish of the surviving family members
- Loss of the estate’s expected net accumulations
Florida’s Two-Year Deadline
In most cases, a wrongful death lawsuit must be filed within two years of the date of death. Waiting too long can permanently bar your family’s claim, and critical evidence can disappear in the meantime. We handle every legal detail with sensitivity and determination so your family’s rights are protected.
