What Constitutes Wrongful Death In the State of Florida?

A death due to another party’s negligence, abuse or even often the failure to act can result in a wrongful death suit being claimed. Basically it requires the incident has been caused by the intentional or unintentional wrong doing of another. Family members of the deceased then file a case for the damages from their relative’s wrongful death seeking financial compensation. Your attorney in a wrongful death suit must present sufficient evidence that this misconduct or negligence caused the death. An experienced attorney, like those at The Lewis Law Group, will help you bring the needed case materials together. We will determine the amount of compensation you may expect from your loved one’s untimely death.
Many events and actions may create a circumstance entitling you to compensation, among those are medical malpractice, motor vehicle accidents in particular when a drunk or impaired driver is involved, boating accidents, product quality issues, slip and fall accidents, nursing home and elder abuse, and other such cases where the injuries suffered resulted in wrongful death.
