Wrongful Death

Miami Wrongful Death Lawyer

When another person or company contributed to the death of your loved one, there are legal steps to hold that party accountable for your loss. While a legal victory and damages cannot replace your loved one, they can help to provide a sense of justice during your grief.

Understanding Wrongful Death Claims in Florida

A wrongful death claim is a legal action that allows family members to seek compensation when a loved one dies due to another party’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional actions. Under Florida law (Florida Statutes § 768.21), surviving family members—including spouses, children, parents, and financial dependents—may be eligible to file a claim.

Wrongful death claims differ from personal injury lawsuits because the deceased person cannot pursue legal action, leaving it up to the family or estate representative to seek justice on their behalf. These claims hold individuals, businesses, or other entities financially accountable for the harm they caused.
