Florida Wrongful Death Claims

When a family loses a loved one because of the negligent or wrongful conduct of another, they may have grounds for a civil lawsuit against the responsible party. At Remer, Georges-Pierre & Hoogerwoerd, PLLC, we help families throughout South Florida file wrongful death claims to seek justice on their loved one’s behalf.

Wrongful Death Laws in Florida

Under Florida law, a person who is negligent or reckless or who intentionally harms another person may be held liable in civil court. The penalties imposed will be financial, paid to the victim to assist with medical bills, funeral costs, emotional suffering, and possibly much more. In wrongful death cases, the compensation awarded may be significant. This can help a family face a more secure future and may also work to increase awareness about this important issue.

Filing a Wrongful Death Claim in Miami

In the event that a person’s death is caused by the wrongful act, negligence, default, or breach of contract of another person or entity, that person’s family may file a lawsuit to recover damages.

In Florida, family members who may recover damages in a wrongful death case include:

  • Spouses
  • Children
  • Parents
  • Dependent blood relatives
  • Dependent adoptive siblings

A personal representative of the victim must file a wrongful death claim. This is often a family member whom the deceased person named in their will or estate plan. If there is no such document, the court will appoint a personal representative. The role of this individual is to file a wrongful death claim on behalf of every qualifying survivor.

Damages recoverable in a wrongful death case in Florida include:

  • Lost wages, benefits, and other earnings
  • Medical and funeral expenses
  • Loss of companionship and guidance
  • Mental and emotional pain due to the loss of a child
