A wrongful death case results when somebody’s death is caused by the negligence of another. Wrongful death cases present some of the saddest situations.

Advice from Fort Lauderdale Wrongful Death Lawyer

If your loved one passes away as a result of somebody else’s negligence, an estate will have to be set up for your loved one. A “personal representative” will have to be appointed as the head of the estate. In the wrongful death case, the personal representative will technically be the client, represent the family, and be the person to bring the lawsuit. You should talk to your family members and decide who in the family would be most appropriate to be the personal representative as this person who will likely need to be deposed and participate in other ways in the litigation.

The beneficiaries of the estate will be the loved ones survivors, or those left behind. The survivors can include the spouse of the loved one, parents of the loved one, children of the loved one, and any other relative dependents of the loved one. It is these survivors that will recover compensation from the case.

The statute of limitations for a wrongful death case in Florida is two years. This means that you have two-years to file a lawsuit after your loved one passed away.

In the State of Florida, the survivors of the lost loved one can recover compensation for the loved one’s medical bills before death; funeral expenses; the financial value of the loved one’s services (i.e., what the loved one would have earned and contributed to the family in his or her life); loss of companionship, guidance and protection; and the pain and suffering of the family members.
