Miami Wrongful Death Attorneys You Can Trust

What Is Wrongful Death?

In Florida, wrongful death occurs when a person’s death is caused by the negligence, recklessness, or intentional actions of another party. These cases allow surviving family members to seek justice and financial compensation.

To establish a wrongful death claim, it must be shown that:

  1. The responsible party owed a duty of care to the deceased.
  2. The party breached that duty.
  3. The breach directly resulted in the death.

Wrongful death claims are handled separately from any criminal cases and can be pursued even if no criminal charges are filed.

Who Can File a Wrongful Death Lawsuit in Miami?

According to Florida law, only the personal representative of the deceased’s estate can file a wrongful death lawsuit on behalf of the survivors. These survivors may include:

  • The deceased’s spouse and minor children
  • Adult children, with some restrictions in medical malpractice cases
  • Parents, if no spouse or children survive
  • Dependent blood relatives or adopted siblings

 

Compensation Available in a Miami Wrongful Death Case

 

A successful wrongful death claim can provide compensation for various losses, including:

  • Funeral and burial expenses
  • Medical bills related to the deceased’s injury or illness
  • Loss of financial support and services provided by the deceased
  • Loss of companionship and parental guidance
  • Pain and suffering for surviving family members
  • Punitive damages, in cases of gross negligence or intentional harm

How Long Do You Have to File a Wrongful Death Claim in Florida?

In Florida, wrongful death claims must be filed within two years of the date of death. This deadline, known as the statute of limitations, is strict, and missing it could prevent you from seeking justice. However, certain exceptions may apply, so it’s important to consult with an attorney as soon as possible.
