Wrongful Death is a Particularly Traumatic Loss
The death of a loved one under any circumstances is a traumatic event. When a family loses a member due to the reckless or negligent act of someone else, it is tragic. Florida law allows the filing of a wrongful death claim in order to compensate a family when a death is caused by the negligent behavior of someone else.
A Wrongful Death Lawsuit Seeks Damages for Medical Costs and Other Monetary and Intangible Losses
In Florida a personal representative may be appointed by the court so that the rights of each survivor or beneficiary are protected. The personal representative is often the spouse or the parent of the deceased. An estate will need to be opened on behalf of the deceased in order to go forward with a claim on behalf of surviving family members. One goal of a wrongful death lawsuit is to prevent financial stress for a family already dealing with great emotional distress. The law suit may seek damages for medical costs, for loss of future support due to lost wages, for loss of companionship and for pain and suffering and mental anguish.
A Skillful Attorney Guides the Bereaved by Initiating Timely Claims
Very often the widow or widower, the most likely personal representative in a wrongful death matter, may be emotionally incapable of filing an initial claim. Therefore, any survivor or beneficiary who would be entitled to compensation after someone dies would have the right to investigate or initiate a wrongful death claim.
An attorney experienced in handling wrongful death claims should be contacted to evaluate the merits of the case and determine who may be entitled to compensation under the law. Please call for a no obligation consultation.
Contact us to begin the thoughtful dialogue that can lead to recovery of the compensation that your family needs and deserves to cope with the financial aspects of the accidental loss of your loved one. Initial consultations are free. Should you decide to work with Carlson & Meissner, we will represent you on a contingency basis. In other words, attorneys' fees will not be due until and unless we recover compensation for you.
