Who is eligible to file a wrongful death lawsuit?

According to Florida state law, dependents and immediate family members (including parents, spouses, and children) of a deceased person are typically eligible to file a wrongful death lawsuit. Children may also recover damages for the loss of parental companionship and guidance, as well as for mental pain and suffering resulting from the death. Under some circumstances, other family members may be permitted to file a wrongful death lawsuit.

Wrongful Death Damages

After a wrongful death, the family of the victim should immediately contact an experienced wrongful death attorney. Insurance companies will aggressively fight to minimize the return on valid claims. As a result, those who "go it alone" frequently do not receive the full compensation to which they are entitled.

In Florida, successful wrongful death claimants may receive damages for:

• Medical and rehabilitation bills
• Funeral costs
• Pain and suffering
• Loss of net accumulations
• Loss of support or companionship
