Understanding Wrongful Death Claims in Florida

The unexpected loss of a loved one due to negligence can leave families emotionally and financially devastated. Florida law recognizes that surviving family members may have legal rights when a death results from another party’s wrongful conduct.

A wrongful death claim arises when a person’s death is caused by negligence, recklessness, medical malpractice, unsafe conditions, or other wrongful acts.

Common Examples of Wrongful Death Claims

  • Automobile and trucking accidents
  • Medical negligence
