Seeking Justice for Your Lost Loved One

Florida Wrongful Death Attorneys

In the state of Florida, when someone is killed due to the negligence or wrongful actions of another, it is considered a “wrongful death.”  Common causes of wrongful deaths include automobile, truck, and motorcycle accidents, along with slip and falls, pool accidents, dog bites, and much more.  The family members of those killed due to negligence are left devastated in the wake of the sudden tragedy.  Often, these survivors were wholly unprepared for the loss of their loved one, emotionally, mentally, and financially.

While nothing can bring back the loss of your family member, a successful wrongful death suit can obtain the justice you seek and minimize the financial impact of your loss.  The attorneys at Guarini Law Offices have dedicated their careers to assisting the family members of accident victims in obtaining the justice they deserve.  We will fight diligently to see that you obtain the maximum recovery possible following the loss of your loved one.

Who Can Bring a Wrongful Death Suit?

The Florida Wrongful Death Act authorizes only the deceased individual’s personal representative to bring a lawsuit.  The personal representative will recover funds for the benefit of the victim’s survivors and estate.  Survivors may include: husband, wife, minor or adult children, parents, or siblings of the victim.

Your Potential Recovery in a Wrongful Death Suit

The damages recovered in a wrongful death suit can be divided into two categories:  1) damages recoverable by the estate and 2) damage recoverable by the survivors of the victim.
The estate can seek recovery for:
· Funeral and burial expenses
· Medical expenses incurred by the victim prior to death
· Loss of income from the victim
· Loss of net accumulations
Survivors can recover for: · Loss of the victim’s financial and household support or services
· Loss of parental guidance, companionship, and instruction (surviving spouse and minor or sometimes adult children)
· Loss of the victim’s companionship and protection
· Emotional and mental pain and suffering
· Medical and funeral expenses paid by the survivor

Net accumulation is defined as the victim’s expected salary or business income, including any pension benefits, that he or she would likely have retained in savings or left as part of the estate had he or she lived to a normal life expectancy.

In some cases, punitive damages can also be recovered.  Punitive damages are only awarded if the defendant is found to be grossly negligent or to have engaged in intentional misconduct.

Act Promptly After the Death of Your Loved One

If your loved one has been killed due to negligence, it is important that you act quickly to secure the representation of a wrongful death attorney who will protect your legal rights.  You have a limited time within which to bring a wrongful death action.  If you wait too long, your rights will forever be lost.  As such, do not delay in obtaining legal guidance.
