‍What Is a Wrongful Death Claim in Florida?

A wrongful death claim arises when someone’s life is cut short due to the careless, reckless, or intentional actions of another party. These claims often stem from car accidents, medical negligence, defective products, workplace accidents, or dangerous property conditions.

While no amount of money can replace a loved one, a wrongful death claim can provide financial stability for surviving family members. Compensation may cover funeral expenses, lost household income, loss of companionship, and the emotional suffering caused by the untimely death. Kris Torres is dedicated to pursuing accountability and helping families find closure through justice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Speak with Kris

Who can file a wrongful death lawsuit in Florida?

Under Florida law, the personal representative of the deceased person’s estate files the claim, but damages can be awarded to spouses, children, parents, and other dependents.

How long do I have to file a wrongful death claim?

You generally have two years from the date of death to file a claim. It’s important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible.

What if there’s also a criminal case?

A criminal case doesn’t prevent a civil wrongful death claim. In fact, the two are completely separate. You can pursue justice in civil court even if no criminal charges are filed.
