Davie Wrongful Death Accidents

The loss of companionship and support suffered by family members who suffer after the death of a loved one is a horrible tragedy to experience. These are often the hardest, most emotional types of claims in the legal system. To be sure, the child of a deceased parent will feel the damage associated with loss of support, both emotional and financial; and a man or woman who loses his or her spouse is likely to feel an extreme sense of pain and suffering.

In addition to being a horrible tragedy to endure, losing a loved one due to another party's negligence or intentional actions often leads to a host of expenses. For example, the victim may have required medical treatment before death, which may amount to tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars. Furthermore, his or her death may have led to significant expenses related to the funeral and burial.

Is there any way that those who have suffered through the death of a loved one can recover monetary compensation to help them with these costs in the future? Yes – they may do so by filing a civil lawsuit with the assistance of a wrongful death attorney serving Davie.

What, exactly is a wrongful death claim? And how does it allow survivors the ability to recover compensation associated with the death of a family member or loved one?

The premise of a wrongful death claim resides in its name; it requires a death to have occurred in a "wrongful" fashion. And here, wrongful is often synonymous with negligence. If an individual was killed due to someone else's negligence (wrongfully), all eligible survivors are allowed, under Florida law, to recover compensation. The same goes for those who lost a loved one to another party's intentional actions. For example, anyone whose family member or spouse died after an assault can file a wrongful death claim against the perpetrator.

If a wrongful death claim is successful, survivors can obtain a host of damages. Specifically, they may be able to recover compensation associated with medical costs and burial expenses, as well as any intangible damages as well as loss of companionship and support.
