Wrongful Death Laws

Top-100-Trial-Lawyers

A wrongful death claim arises from the death of an individual due to the negligent or intentional conduct of another. There may be a criminal investigation and civil action following a fatal accident. There often are circumstances for the victim’s (the decedent’s) survivors to initiate a wrongful death lawsuit.

A wrongful death suit is different from other types of personal injury claims because the actual victim (the decedent) is not filing suit. Rather, the family members or the decedent’s estate must file the case. As such, a wrongful death claim seeks to recover damages for the injuries that the surviving family and/or estate suffered due to the victim’s death.

Wrongful death accidents are traumatic experiences that leave the victim’s loved ones vulnerable and in shock. The victim’s surviving family members are often confused about what to do, who to call, or where to find help after loss from a sudden accident. It can leave victims in a troublesome situation while in pain and mourning the loss of their loved one.

With outstanding medical and funeral expenses, families face unexpected financial responsibilities the accident caused. Your family’s focus should be on grieving, not how to fund expenses from a wrongful death accident.

Tampa Bay Wrongful Death FAQs

  • How Do You File a Wrongful Death Claim?

    The wrongful death process depends on how the fatal accident happened. For example, after a traffic crash, our lawyers might file an auto insurance claim against the liable driver’s policy. If the fatal accident involved a fall on commercial property, the claim might be against property or business insurance coverage. We can identify the claims to file in each specific case.

    If the insurance company does not offer a fair settlement, we will file a wrongful death lawsuit in civil court. This is a complex process that our experienced litigators know how to handle.
