Understanding your case

Florida's Wrongful Death Act allows certain surviving family members to pursue a claim when a death is caused by another party's negligence, recklessness, or wrongdoing.

Depending on the family structure, survivors such as a spouse, children, and in some cases parents may be entitled to recover damages.

Damages may include funeral and burial expenses, medical expenses incurred prior to death, lost financial support, and loss of companionship for qualifying survivors.
