Florida Wrongful Death Compensation
According to Florida Statutes § 768.19, when a person dies because of an act of negligence that would have permitted them to pursue a personal injury case had they lived, the liable party can still be held responsible for damages.
In Florida, the deceased’s personal representative (executor) can pursue a wrongful death claim or lawsuit on behalf of the deceased’s estate and surviving beneficiaries. Compensation may include:
- Medical and funeral expenses
- Lost income from the time of injury to death
- Income the deceased would have saved had they lived
- Surviving family members’ pain and suffering
- Loss of the deceased’s support, guidance, companionship, care, and protection
Three Facts to Know About Filing Personal Injury Claims
Know these three essential facts about personal injury cases in Florida so you don’t miss the legal requirements to file your claim or lawsuit:
- You have two years to file a lawsuit for personal injury in the state of Florida. If you do not file within the two-year statute of limitations outlined in Florida Statutes § 95.11, the court may dismiss your lawsuit. The same statute grants you two years from your loved one’s death to pursue a wrongful death case.
- Prompt, professional medical help can provide evidence to substantiate your personal injury case. Even though you have four years to file your lawsuit, the longer you wait from the time of your injury, the less chance you may have of gathering all the essential evidence needed to prove your case. Seeing a doctor as soon as possible establishes a record of your injuries and protects you from allegations that your injuries did not stem from your accident. If you have not already done so, seek treatment immediately.
- Witness statements, photos, and videos can be your best evidence. Gather your evidence as quickly as possible. Many important details may become lost or forgotten if you wait too long to get documents and other evidence.
Gathering evidence to help prove your personal injury case can be difficult. Recovering from an injury can be stressful and full-time work. That is why we recommend contacting our lawyers. We can get started collecting and preserving evidence right away.
If you do not act promptly and seek professional legal help, it may become increasingly difficult to recover compensation for your medical expenses and loss of wages, as well as the pain and suffering you may have experienced.
A personal injury law firm like Anidjar & Levine can represent you and make sure:
- None of your evidence is lost
- You meet all your case deadlines
- You get proper medical care
- You receive compensation for your damages and losses
Accomplishing these tasks may require an understanding of Florida personal injury law to get every detail necessary to resolve your case against the negligent party and their insurance company.
How to Prove the Other Party Is Negligent and Liable for Damages
Our personal injury team knows how to gather and preserve evidence to determine negligence. Who bears liability depends on your specific accident, but at-fault parties may include a negligent driver, a business or residential property owner, or a health care provider or medical facility.
We may collect the following types of evidence and present it to the insurance company:
- Photographs and video surveillance
- Police or accident reports
- Eyewitness statements
- Expert testimony, such as by an accident reconstruction expert or medical professional
If the negligent party and their insurance company do not offer the proper settlement amount, we can go forward with a lawsuit on your behalf.
