What Is a Wrongful Death Claim under Florida Law?

A wrongful death claim is a civil lawsuit brought when one party’s negligence, recklessness, or wrongful act causes another person’s death.

Under Florida Statute §768.19, when a death is caused by a wrongful act that would have entitled the injured person to file a personal injury claim had they survived, the responsible party may be held liable for damages. The claim is typically brought by the personal representative of the deceased’s estate on behalf of surviving family members.

Florida Statute §768.21 governs the damages recoverable in wrongful death cases and outlines the rights of survivors.

Compensation Available Under Florida Law

Florida law allows certain surviving family members to recover damages, which may include:

Medical expenses associated with the accident before the person’s death
Funeral and burial expenses
Loss of support and services the deceased would have provided
Loss of companionship and protection
Loss of parental guidance and instruction
Mental and emotional pain and suffering

The estate may also recover lost earnings from the date of injury to death, and the prospective net accumulations the deceased would have earned.

Because damages vary depending on the survivor’s relationship to the deceased and the circumstances of the case, careful legal analysis is essential.

Why Floridians Choose Us

The consequences of a wrongful death extend far beyond emotional loss. You and your family may experience loss of primary household income and benefits, loss of companionship and spousal relations, loss of parental guidance and protection, medical bills, and devastating grief and suffering.

You may be required to adapt to a dramatically altered reality, especially when the deceased was a spouse or parent. While financial compensation can never replace what you have lost, it can help to bring healing and closure.
