Losing a loved one due to someone else's negligence is a devastating experience. At Weisser Elazar & Kantor, PLLC, we take pride in guiding families through the 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
At WEK Law, we have a proven track record of handling wrongful death cases with sensitivity and diligence. Our legal team utilizes expert witnesses to support your claim and pursues every available avenue to secure the compensation you deserve. We are committed to guiding you through this challenging time with personalized attention and unwavering advocacy.
