Jacksonville Wrongful Death Lawyers

“Wrongful death” is death that is caused by the misconduct of another entity or person. The misconduct could range from intentional reckless acts to fleeting negligence. This act could be done by a corporation like a drug company or by a single individual.

Who is covered by Florida Wrongful Death Act?

According to the law, survivors of deceased are entitled to compensation for wrongful deaths. It’s similar to somebody being compensated for injuries caused by a wrongdoing.

To discover if you could recover losses associated with a loved one’s death, call one of our experienced Jacksonville wrongful death lawyers for a free and confidential personal injury consultation.

Laws that address who is entitled to recover these damages differ by state. Typically, the listing of beneficiaries involves young children and a spouse. In Florida, kids over 18 have the ability to obtain damages under special circumstances. The deceased estate may also be eligible for compensation in some cases.

Florida is one of many states which treat other family members as statutory survivors if they relied upon the deceased for financial support. The survivors will be listed underneath Florida’s Wrongful Death Act. Statutory survivors could be compensated. The compensation rates for statutory survivors vary by state and will be based upon a survivor’s relationship with the deceased.

The reason for the wrongful death law is to recover damages endured by all survivors. The estate may also be entitled to recover future values of the net accumulations which the deceased would have earned if the wrongful death hadn’t happened.

Lastly, funeral and medical bills are recoupable by the estate or survivor who paid or will be compelled to pay for them.

To discover if one of our Jacksonville wrongful death attorneys could assist you in pursuing compensation for your loss, contact us for a complimentary consultation.

What are you entitled to in a Wrongful Death lawsuit?

In wrongful death lawsuits, the Wrongful Death lawyer has to be able to prove the death happened as a result of negligence by an additional entity or person. A wrongful death attorney also needs to prove the surviving loved ones suffered monetary losses as a result of this death.

Recoverable damages include loss of anticipated earnings, loss of consortium, funeral expenses, and medical bills. A case in which a defendant’s actions were outrageous, punitive damages may be awarded. Punitive damages aren’t awarded in all cases and will be intended to punish a defendant for their actions, instead of compensating a victim for their non-economic and economic losses.

Florida’s statute of limitations will be 2 years from the date of death. To assure your statute of limitations doesn’t run out, immediately contact a Jacksonville wrongful death lawyer.

A wrongful death attorney at Harris Guidi Rosner, P.A understands that no quantity of cash could replace your loved one. But, we could assist you in understanding your rights and aid you in filing a wrongful death claim. Call a Jacksonville wrongful death lawyer right away.
