A wrongful death claim arises when a person’s death is caused by the negligent, reckless, or intentional actions of another party. These claims are typically filed by the surviving family members or the estate of the deceased. While no amount of money can replace a lost loved one, pursuing a wrongful death claim can provide financial relief and hold the responsible parties accountable for their actions.

Who Can File A Wrongful Death Claim?
In Florida, the right to file a wrongful death claim is reserved for certain individuals who have lost a loved one due to the negligence, recklessness, or intentional act of another party. The laws governing wrongful death claims are designed to provide compensation to the deceased’s survivors for the financial and emotional losses they suffer as a result of the untimely death
Under Florida law, a wrongful death claim must be filed by the personal representative of the deceased person’s estate. This individual is usually named in the deceased’s will or estate plan. If there is no will or the named representative is unable or unwilling to serve, the court will appoint a personal representative, often a close family member, to handle the estate and pursue the wrongful death claim.

The compensation in a wrongful death claim is designed to cover a variety of losses that the surviving family members may endure, including:
Funeral & Burial Expenses
