Wrongful Death
What is a wrongful death under Florida law?
A wrongful death means a person loses their life due to another party's negligence, recklessness, or intentional misconduct. It means the death happened under circumstances where the victim would have been able to file a personal injury lawsuit if they had survived. When a person dies due to the negligence, recklessness or misconduct of another, the surviving family members may be entitled to sue for damages against those responsible for the decedent's death.
