Understanding Wrongful Death Claims
Wrongful death is a legal term used when someone’s life is prematurely ended due to the negligent, reckless or intentional actions of another party.
Wrongful death claims are civil lawsuits that aim to hold the responsible party accountable for their actions and provide compensation to the surviving family members. These claims can arise from a wide range of circumstances, including:
- Car Accidents: When a loved one is fatally injured in a car crash caused by another driver's negligence.
- Medical Malpractice: In cases where medical professionals' actions or omissions result in a patient's death.
- Workplace Accidents: If an employee dies due to unsafe working conditions or employer negligence.
- Product Liability: When a defective product or inadequate safety warnings lead to a fatal accident.
- Premises Liability: Fatal accidents occurring on someone else's property due to dangerous conditions.
Damages Available in a Wrongful Death Claim in Florida
In Florida, survivors of a wrongful death victim may be entitled to various types of compensation under the law. These damages are meant to provide financial support and justice to those who have suffered the loss of a loved one due to the negligence or intentional actions of another party. The types of compensation available can vary depending on the plaintiff and their relationship with the decedent:
- Economic Damages: Survivors may be entitled to recover economic damages, which typically include medical expenses arising from the decedent's final injury or illness, funeral and burial costs and any other financial losses resulting from the death.
- Loss of Support and Services: Surviving family members who relied on the decedent for income and benefits may seek compensation for the loss of these contributions, including financial assistance, household services and childcare.
- Mental Pain and Suffering: Survivors who were closely related to the deceased person, such as spouses, children and parents, may be eligible for compensation to address the mental pain and suffering caused by the loss of their loved one.
- Loss of Companionship: Damages may be available to compensate survivors for the loss of companionship, guidance and protection provided by the deceased person.
- Punitive Damages: In cases involving extreme negligence or intentional misconduct, punitive damages may be awarded to punish the wrongdoer and deter future similar behavior. In Florida, punitive damages often arise in wrongful death cases related to drunk driving accidents.
Under Florida law, survivors entitled to these damages are typically limited to the deceased person’s spouse, children, parents, and, in some cases, other dependent relatives. Consulting with an experienced wrongful death attorney is crucial to understanding the applicable laws and pursuing rightful compensation for survivors during these difficult times.
