Compassionate Representation for Wrongful Death Cases in Florida

Understanding Wrongful Death Claims

Losing a loved one due to someone else’s negligence is a devastating experience. At WEK Law, we place a premium on compassionately and empathetically guiding families through the legal complexities of wrongful death claims in Florida. Whether the death resulted from an accident, medical malpractice, or even murder, we are here to provide compassionate and effective legal representation.

An Overview of Wrongful Death Claims

In Florida, certain family members who depended on the deceased for financial or emotional support have the right to pursue wrongful death claims. This may include spouses, children, parents, and other relatives. We understand the emotional toll of losing a loved one, and we are committed to advocating for justice on behalf of the deceased and their family.

Time Limits for Filing

It’s essential to act swiftly when pursuing a wrongful death claim. Florida’s statute of limitations typically allows for two years from the date of death to file a lawsuit. However, there are exceptions that may extend this period. Our team can provide guidance on navigating these time constraints while ensuring your rights are protected.

Criminal vs. Civil Proceedings

While criminal cases focus on punishing the offender, wrongful death suits in civil court seek financial compensation for the survivors. Civil proceedings require a lower standard of proof, making it possible to pursue justice even if criminal charges have not been filed or if the defendant has been acquitted.

What Damages Can You Recover?

In a wrongful death suit, compensation may include both economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages can cover medical costs, funeral expenses, lost future earnings, and benefits. Non-economic damages may address pain and suffering, loss of companionship, and emotional distress. Our goal is to secure comprehensive compensation to support your family’s financial and emotional recovery.
