Cutler Bay Wrongful Death Accidents

The unexpected death of a loved one is probably the most painful event that a person can experience. Such a tragedy often leads to many unanswered questions about the cause of the death, who is responsible, how the family will survive, and the options to seek justice. Many people suffer with a feeling that they are overwhelmed and alone as they try to put the pieces of their lives back together. Unfortunately, there is no quick or simple way to recover from the loss of a loved one. However, an experienced Cutler Bay wrongful death attorney may be able to help you to recover damages to help ease the financial hardships that you face after your tragedy.

While every death is tragic, not all deaths are legally considered "wrongful". According to Florida state law, you may have a wrongful death case if the death was directly caused by another person or party. This may include (but is not limited to) irresponsible drivers, manufacturers of unsafe medical devices or drugs, manufacturers of defective products, negligent owners of property, or other situations in which the actions or decisions of person led to the death of your loved one.

Some people are reluctant to contact a wrongful death lawyer for a number of reasons. Legal action is often the last thing on a persons mind after a tragedy. However, a wrongful death claim may be appropriate in order to pay for expenses related to the death, acquire the financial means to support your family, and gain a sense of justice and closure regarding the responsible parties.

A Cutler Bay Wrongful Death Attorney can help you to understand the way the laws apply to your area. Typically, a wrongful death claim addresses damages related to medical bills, funeral, and burial expenses. It may also include financial and emotional losses to the family, including lost wages and other earnings, services, loss of companionship, loss of protection and guidance, and pain and suffering.

According to Florida law, the statute of limitations for a wrongful death claim is four years.
