Are you unsure of why it's necessary to hire a wrongful death attorney for your case? Consider the following information to help you understand the value of a legal professional.

Do you know where all relevant documents should be filed to initiate your wrongful death claim? Do you know the time limit in which you have to file a claim to recover compensation for the loss of your loved one? In general, those without a strong grasp of Florida laws and legal procedures may be unfamiliar with the process of filing a wrongful death lawsuit, and carrying it out through its entirety. There is no reason to be concerned, however, if you are uncomfortable taking any of these actions by yourself; instead, you can simply contact a wrongful death attorney who will help guide you through the entire process.

In some cases, the party responsible for the death of your loved one may be obvious. In others, however, this party may not be so clear. For example, in a truck accident that took the life of your loved one, liable parties may include the driver, his or her employer, or even the shipper or truck manufacturer or even other vehicles involved or not involved in this fatal truck accident. Or, in the case of a defective product leading to death, the liable parties may include the product's manufacturer and/or distributor. Ultimately, determining the liable party or parties can be a difficult process that requires the assistance of a trained legal professional.

The same can be said for the final determination of the damages to which you are entitled. While on the surface it may seem as if the only expenses you have incurred are related to the burial expenses and/or pre-death medical treatment of your loved one, it is likely that you have sustained significantly more harms. To be sure, you may be suffering from the loss of support or loss of companionship of your deceased loved one, as well as economic damages related to the death. An experienced wrongful death attorney in Broward County can examine the specifics of your case and help decide the exact damages you suffered after your loved one's death.
