Miami Gardens Wrongful Death Accidents

The passing of a loved one is probably the most tragic and devastating thing a person can suffer. Such a loss disrupts the lives of the deceased's family, friends, and co-workers, resulting in a ripple effect of suffering, grief, and financial burdens. While the death of someone close to you is always painful, it's even more disturbing when the tragedy might have been avoided. If you have lost a loved one due to an accident or unusual circumstances, you may be entitled to compensation to help you cover related expenses and begin to heal. Serving Miami Gardens Wrongful Death Attorney Jarrett Blakeley brings experience and compassion to those who have suffered a tragic loss. He can help you explore your options and pursue the justice that you and your family deserve.

Florida Law (Statutes Section 768.19) states that you can file with a wrongful death lawyer in civil court if "the death of a person is caused by the wrongful act, negligence, default, or breach of contract or warranty of any person…." This covers a range of possibilities. If the death of your loved one is due to the actions of another party, you may have a case. The actions that led to the death may have resulted from negligence, irresponsibility, bad judgement, or any number of factors. Whatever the circumstances, Attorney Jarrett Blakeley can help you to explore the options and decide how best to proceed.

Of course, no amount of money in the world can compensate for the loss of a human life. However, proper compensation can help loved ones to avoid further distress from financial burdens, allowing them to focus on their healing process. In terms of financial damages, wrongful death claims can help survivors to seek damages related to the loss of the deceased's earnings, medical and funeral expenses, pain and suffering, loss of support and services, and loss of companionship, protection, instruction, and guidance. There is no standard amount of compensation for these losses, so a consultation with a Miami Gardens Wrongful Death Attorney is the best way to get a clear understanding of your rights and options. If you are the surviving spouse, child, parent, or representative of the deceased, you may be entitled to file a claim.

In the state of Florida, wrongful death claims must be filed no later than four years after the death occurs. If your tragedy has happened within four years, it may be time to contact a wrongful death attorney who will offer you a free expert consultation.
