What Is a Wrongful Death Claim in FL?

In Florida, a wrongful death claim allows the personal representative of the deceased person's estate to file a lawsuit against the party responsible for the death due to negligence or intentional acts. This law is designed to provide financial security to the survivors. This can include the spouse, children, parents of the deceased, and siblings. 

Wrongful death damages can cover:

• Medical expenses
• Funeral and burial expenses
• Lost earnings
• Loss of companionship
• Pain and suffering

Navigating these laws requires intricate knowledge of both legal and procedural elements. Our wrongful death lawyer in Tallahassee can provide the compassionate and personalized support you need to pursue justice.

Common Causes of Wrongful Death Claims

Wrongful death claims often arise from circumstances that are both devastating and complex. In certain cases, these claims can involve several liable parties and intricate legal processes. It is crucial for families to understand that the causes mentioned can frequently involve additional complications, such as defective parts in car accidents or operational failures in medical practices.

What Is the Statute of Limitations for Wrongful Death in Florida?

You must bring an action for wrongful death in Florida within two years from the date of death. A wrongful death action must be brought by the decedent’s personal representative, who shall recover for the benefit of the decedent’s survivors and estate all damages caused by the injury resulting in death.

A wrongful death lawsuit in Georgia may be brought by a surviving spouse. If there is no surviving spouse, the children may bring the death claim. If there are neither surviving spouse nor surviving children, the parents of the decedent may pursue the wrongful death claim. Absent a surviving spouse, children, and parents, the administrator of the decedent’s estate can sue on behalf of the estate.

The hiring of an attorney is an important decision. Before you decide, ask us to send you free written information about our experience and credentials.

For-profit private lawyer referral “services” (such as 411 Pain) ask victims of Tallahassee car accidents, Tallahassee truck accidents, and Tallahassee motorcycle accidents to call them without disclosing anything about the credentials of the lawyers that they will be referring you to. Moreover, the not-so-catchy jingles of lawyer referral services such as 411 Pain may hurt the public’s perception of victims of personal injuries, personal injury lawyers, and the medical professionals who treat persons who have been the victim of negligence.
