FAQs
In Florida, only the personal representative of the deceased's estate can file a wrongful death claim on behalf of the survivors. Eligible survivors are the deceased's family members: spouse, children, parents, and any blood relatives or adoptive siblings who were dependent on the deceased person for support.
It's important to remember that insurance companies are often motivated to settle claims for as little as possible. An experienced wrongful death attorney can help you determine if the settlement offered is fair and appropriate, and if necessary, negotiate with the insurance company on your behalf to obtain the full compensation you deserve.
The value of a wrongful death case depends on various factors, including the circumstances of the accident, the age and life expectancy of the deceased, the impact of the loss on the family, and the victim's future earning potential. Our attorneys have experience in determining the appropriate settlement amount for your specific wrongful death suit and will work to ensure you receive fair compensation for your loss.
