Expect More, Receive More: Legal Support That Feels Like Family
When Can Someone File a Wrongful Death Lawsuit in Florida?
Florida allows a decedent’s survivors to file a wrongful death lawsuit if their loved one could have sued for damages had they lived. Various negligent situations can lead to a wrongful death action, including malpractice, intentional killing, and vehicle collisions.
Parties who sue must prove how the defendant’s negligence directly caused their loved one’s fatal injury. Our Alva wrongful death compensation lawyers must demonstrate how your case contains the four elements of negligence:
- The at-fault party had a duty to ensure your loved one’s safety.
- The at-fault party exhibited negligence, violating this duty.
- This breach directly led to your relative’s fatal injury.
- Your loved one’s death resulted in considerable losses for their beneficiaries, who have the right to receive compensatory damages.
We will build a case on the evidence to show how the liable party failed to meet their duty of care. We will directly tie their negligent actions to your loved one’s fatal injury, proving you should receive damages.
