Tampa Wrongful Death Attorney

Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim in Florida?

According to Florida law, a personal representative of the deceased estate can file a wrongful death claim. If such a person does not exist yet, the court will appoint one. Usually a personal representative of the estate is a family member of the deceased, however this is not mandatory.

Damages for Wrongful Death Lawsuits

According to Florida Statutes section 768.21 common damages that can be recovered in a wrongful death claim include but are not limited to:

Medical expenses
Funeral and burial expenses
Lost wages and benefits the deceased would have earned
Loss of support, companionship and guidance
Mental and emotional pain

Any compensation recovered will be distributed among certain family members and the deceased’s estate regardless of who filed the claim.
