What Is Wrongful Death?
According to Florida’s Wrongful Death Act, a wrongful death occurs when a life is taken due to an unexpected and avoidable accident caused by negligence. The most common accidents involved in wrongful death cases include car, truck and motorcycle accidents, medical errors, workplace accidents, as well as the use of defective drugs and products.
In the case of a wrongful death, survivors — such as the deceased’s spouse, children, parents, and other family members who were dependent on the deceased for support — may have the right to receive compensation for their losses.
What You Could Recover in a Wrongful Death Lawsuit
If you file a wrongful death claim, your family may be able to recover compensation for your losses. Florida’s Wrongful Death Act outlines the damages different members of the family could receive following the death of their loved one:
- Each survivor is entitled to the value of both past and future loss of support and services from the deceased, based on the deceased’s probable net income and the life expectancy of the deceased and the survivor.
- The spouse is entitled to compensation for loss of companionship and for mental pain and suffering.
- The parents of a minor child are entitled to compensation for mental pain and suffering.
- The parents of an adult child can receive compensation for mental pain and suffering if there are no other survivors.
- Any survivor who has paid medical or future expenses on behalf of the deceased may recover them.
- The estate of the deceased may recover lost earnings from the date of injury to the date of death and any medical or funeral expenses due. The estate may also recover the savings the deceased would have accumulated had they lived, provided the deceased had a spouse or children.
