Florida Wrongful Death Attorney

A "wrongful death" occurs when a person dies due to the negligent, careless, intentional, or reckless act of another person or entity. An Experienced Florida Personal Injury Lawyer in this field will advance the costs and expenses necessary to successfully litigate these cases.

Under traditional "common law" wrongful death actions did not exist. It was thought that the claim of the victim of a wrongful death died with that person. State legislatures realized that this rule failed to compensate family members and others who suffered certain economic and non-economic losses due to a person's death and enacted wrongful death laws to correct this problem. A knowledgeable Florida Injury Attorney in the Wrongful Death Claims subject will assist you to successfully litigate these cases.

Accidental deaths are among the leading causes of fatalities in the United States. According to the National Safety Council, a fatal injury occurs every five minutes. There were approximately 101,500 accidental deaths in the U.S. in 2003. The most frequent causes of accidental deaths are motor vehicle accidents, falls, poisonings, choking, fires and smoke. A skilled Florida Attorney in the Wrongful Death Claims area will fight for you.

A wrongful death action is intended to compensate the plaintiffs for their own losses rather than the losses incurred by the deceased. The plaintiffs are not entitled to certain types of damages normally recoverable in a personal injury claim, such as the wrongful death victim's medical expenses, lost income and property damage. These claims belong to the wrongful death victim's estate and may be recoverable by the personal representative of the victim in a "survival action." While a wrongful death action compensates the heirs for their own losses as a result of the victim's death, the claims in a survival action belonged to the wrongful death victim and passed to the victim's estate upon death. An Experienced Florida Lawyer in this topic will fight and fight and fight for you.

In some cases, punitive damages are recoverable in a survival action if the victim survived the accident, however briefly, or if the property of the victim was damaged or lost before death. The only time brief survival or property damage are not necessary to obtain punitive damages is when the wrongful death resulted from a homicide for which the defendant has been convicted of a felony. In many cases, the survival action may be joined with the wrongful death claim and litigated at the same time. An Experienced Florida Attorney in this field will advance the costs and expenses necessary to successfully litigate these cases.

Wrongful death laws recognize that certain people suffer their own economic and non-economic losses due to the wrongful death of someone close to them. A knowledgeable Florida Personal Injury Attorney in the Wrongful Death Claims subject will assist you to successfully litigate these cases.
