    Understanding Wrongful Death Claims in Florida

    The unexpected death of a loved one is one of life’s most challenging events. Some deaths are the result of unpreventable tragedies. However, some fatal injuries are preventable and caused by another person’s negligence. 

    Filing a successful wrongful death claim can help families recover the financial compensation they need to move forward with their lives. No amount of money can compensate for the grief that a family experiences. But it is critical to hold negligent parties responsible for the harm that they have caused.
     
    Wrongful death claims function similarly to other personal injury cases. There are many scenarios and accidents that can result in fatal injuries for victims. Some of the most common contexts in which Florida wrongful deaths occur include:

    • Car accidents
    • Motorcycle collisions
    • Pedestrian accidents
    • Boating accidents
    • Bicycle accidents
    • Construction site injuries
    • Intentionally harmful actions, such as assault and battery
    • Medical malpractice
    • Workplace accidents
    • Faulty and defective products
    • Premises-related accidents

    No matter what circumstances led to the death of your loved one, you deserve justice. The accomplished legal professionals at Morgan and Morgan have a long history of fighting successfully for the families of decedents.
