Wrongful Death

Overview

Do you have a wrongful death lawsuit? Wrongful death claims are brought by the survivors of wrongful death victims. Florida law provides survivors a legal remedy to file a civil lawsuit for the death of a loved one, as a result of a third party’s negligent or careless behavior. The last thing a grieving family needs to worry about is filing a death claim. Additionally, it seems impossible to think about the future such a short time after the death of a loved one. Nevertheless, the estate’s executor or a surviving family member may recover some of the deceased’s final medical expenses and funeral costs.
