Losing a loved one is a painful experience that can involve unexpected and high financial
burden for the survivors. These costs can include funeral arrangements, unpaid medical bills, and the loss of the income of the deceased. If your loved one has passed away unexpectedly due to the wrongful action of someone else, you might have a case under the Wrongful Death Act. Florida’s Wrongful Death Act seeks to protect you—the survivor—from these financial costs, giving the financial burden to the person responsible for the accident.
According to Florida Law, wrongful death may be a result of a “wrongful act, negligence, default, or breach of contract or warranty of any person.” You may have a wrongful death case if the person at fault would have been responsible for paying for injury or damages if your loved one had survived the event. The Schultz Law Firm can help you determine what your legal rights are in a case of wrongful death, as well as compassionately assist and represent you throughout the legal process.
Survivors covered under Florida Law include the immediate family—parents or children—of the deceased, either by blood or adoption. When siblings are dependent on the deceased for support or services, they are included as immediate family. Survivors may be compensated financially for damages including funeral costs, loss of salary, loss of services the deceased provided, loss of parental companionship (in the case of minor children), and psychological damages and care.
