Miami Florida Wrongful Death Attorneys

Whenever the death of a person is caused by the wrongful act or negligence of another person or entity, it may be possible to maintain an action to recover damages suffered as a result of the death. Actions for wrongful death can arise in a variety of settings. Such cases include car, truck or motorcycle accidents, medical malpractice, premises liability, product liability and construction accidents. Florida Statute creates a cause of action in the name of the personal representative of the estate of the decedent for the benefit of those people set forth in the statute as individuals entitled to recovery.

Florida Statute is very specific as to who can maintain a cause of action for wrongful death. You can contact us so that we can determine whether or not you may be entitled to recovery.

Death is a natural part of life, but when a loved one has died due to the fault or gross negligence of another it can be a tragedy for surviving family members. A person who loses their life due to the fault or gross negligence of another is the innocent victim of a "wrongful death."
There are many examples of how a wrongful death can occur. These include dangerous or defective automobiles, truck or motorcycle accidents, medical malpractice and fatal job site accidents.

If you lose a loved one due to a wrongful death, you and other family members may be eligible for damages for losses such as loss of future wages, medical expenses prior to death, and loss of companionship. In times of grief, family members often overlook the importance of a prompt investigation of the circumstances of death and the preservation of evidence. These matters are extremely important in determining how and why the incident occurred and identifying the persons legally responsible for the incident.
