    FLORIDA WRONGFUL DEATH ATTORNEY

    If someone’s death was caused by another party’s negligence or reckless disregard, The Wrongful Death Act in the State of Florida provides that the loved one’s of that person should be compensated for the loss.

    Inasmuch as the loved one cannot be replaced, the party that is responsible should compensate the aggrieved family for their loss. They have lost someone who was not only a potential earner of income for that family, but irreplaceable as a person they could count on everyday for advice, direction, affection, and companionship.

    The Act is not without complications. For instance, It includes the child born out of wedlock of a mother, but not the child born out of wedlock of the father unless the father has recognized a responsibility for the child’s support.

    Other examples:

    1. Children under the age of 25 are treated differently than those over 25.
    2. A surviving spouse who remarries may lose much of the potential award that may have been possible had she not remarried.
    3. The Statute of Limitations on Wrongful Death actions is only two years from date of death, so it is important you contact a Miami and Miami wrongful death attorney right away so we can get to work on your case.
