Types of Compensation You Can Recover for Wrongful Death Cases

What to Know About Wrongful Death Cases in Delray Beach

Statute of Limitations

Unlike most areas of law in Florida, where you have four years to file your claim, you only have two years from the date of death to initiate legal proceedings for a wrongful death claim.

Damages Limitations

Florida has imposed a statutory cap on non-economic damages in medical malpractice cases – such as pain and suffering – at $500,000 per claimant. This applies to cases involving medical malpractice that result in a wrongful death.

Eligibility for Filing

Under state law, only specific individuals, such as surviving spouses, children, parents and the estate’s personal representative, can file a wrongful death claim. The law is most concerned with ensuring dependents or people who relied on the deceased family member for financial or emotional support receive appropriate compensation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Wrongful Death Cases

Compensation in wrongful death cases is determined by various factors, such as the deceased person’s income, age, earning potential, the nature of the incident and the degree of the surviving family members’ emotional losses. While some of those damages can be quantified, many are subjective or must be carefully calculated to reach an appropriate figure.

Yes, you can still pursue a wrongful death claim even if the responsible party was acquitted in a criminal trial. Since civil and criminal cases have different standards of proof, you may still have a valid claim for compensation.
