A Lawsuit Can Result in Justice
Some fatal car accidents result in criminal charges, while others do not. In either case, a wrongful death lawsuit may be a way for your family to obtain justice for your immense loss.
The result of your lawsuit may depend on your losses. When a fatal car accident happens, your losses may include:
- The cost of transporting your loved one via ambulance
- The cost of emergency care for your loved one
- The loss of comfort provided by your loved one, which may be part of your loss of consortium
- The loss of parental guidance for children of your loved one
- Your family’s pain and suffering
- Your loved one’s pain and suffering
- The cost of damage to your loved one’s vehicle
- The loss of your loved one’s future income
- Funeral and burial costs
Your lawyer will figure out the cost of these and any other losses that have come from your loved one’s passing.
A lawyer from our firm will negotiate on behalf of you and your family, aiming to obtain the compensation that is in line with your losses.
Wrongful Death Laws Can Be Complicated
Florida Statutes Chapter 768 contains many different rules related to wrongful deaths. Several of these rules relate specifically to motor vehicle accidents. Your lawyer will not burden you with these laws but will shape your case around any relevant statutes.
If you do not hire a lawyer, then:
- You may have to research these laws yourself
- You may have to figure out how such laws do or do not apply to your case
- You may run the risk of interpreting these laws incorrectly
- You could spend substantial time and effort on the research portion of your lawsuit alone
Hiring a lawyer allows you to avoid these issues.
