Accidental Death and Florida Law

Claims related to accidental, or wrongful, death result from a wide variety of accidents, including: automobile accidents, transportation-related incidents, construction site accidents, defective products, medical negligence, and dangerous premises. Like other personal injury laws, wrongful death claims can help with the financial and emotional impact of serious accidents, especially in regard to loss of earnings and medical expenses.

Florida and federal law limits the amount of financial recovery available to the loved ones of victims of accidental deaths. For instance, wrongful death statutes limit the ability of parents to bring a wrongful death claim for adult children. Likewise, under some circumstances, adult children may not bring a wrongful death claim for the loss of a parent. For all claims related to the accidental loss of a loved one, Florida law requires that a claim be filed within two years of the date of the accident. An experienced lawyer can advise you on your rights concerning the loss of a family member.

Our Florida attorneys can also assist individuals who have suffered the loss of a loved one with comprehensive service related to personal injury and probate. Probate administration is, essentially, the process by which an individual’s possessions are distributed after death. Claims related to the administration of probate can be brought, by statute, during wrongful death proceedings. Florida laws governing probate can be complex, often requiring approval by the court and the assignment of personal representatives and guardians.
