    Understanding Wrongful Death Cases in Florida

    In the state of Florida, when a person’s actions cause a death, they can be held financially responsible through a civil legal claim. This is known as a “wrongful death” suit.

    The decedent’s estate holder has the legal right to pursue financial compensation for any costs and losses resulting from the victim’s death. According to state law, a wrongful death happens when a victim dies because of a “wrongful act, negligence, default, or breach of contract or warranty” (Fla. Stat. § 768.19).

    Wrongful deaths can result from many different types of accidents and injuries. They can also be caused by the at-fault party’s intentional actions. 

    Some of the most common causes of wrongful deaths include:

    • Negligence resulting in a mishap–such as a traffic collision
    • Medical negligence or malpractice–such as a misdiagnosis
    • Injuries caused by faulty or defective consumer products
    • Intentionally harmful actions–including assault and battery

    If you have lost someone you love as the result of any of these situations, do not hesitate to contact seasoned DeLand, FL, wrongful death lawyers. The legal specialists at Morgan and Morgan know what it takes to successfully fight for victims' families.
