Common Wrongful Death Claims in Florida
Wrongful death lawsuits are based on negligence and wrongful acts, which can include several different scenarios and circumstances. Florida Statutes section 768.19 defines a wrongful death as, "When the death of a person is caused by the wrongful act, negligence, default, or breach of contract or warranty of any person."
Common types of wrongful death cases in Florida include:
- Car accidents
- Boating accidents
- Medical malpractice
- Drunk-driving accidents
- Dog bites
- Nursing home abuse
- Motorcycle accidents
- And more
Because the circumstances of each wrongful death claim are unique, it can be incredibly difficult to prove liability. An attorney will not only help you navigate the legal proceedings but will also help gather the evidence and testimonials necessary to build the strongest case possible.
Compensation for Family Members - Pick Porter!™
It is highly advisable to speak with Jacksonville wrongful death attorney from our firm before accepting a settlement from the insurance company, as your claim may be worth far more than you have been offered. Insurance carriers are eager to limit their financial losses, and will often attempt to take advantage of a grieving family's anxiety to recover compensation by offering a quick settlement with a waiver of the right to pursue further damages.
