Miami Wrongful Death Attorney Serving Miami Wrongful Death Attorney Jarrett Blakeley Provides Expert Advice

The death of a loved one is probably the most devastating thing that a family can experience, especially if the death occurs suddenly and unexpectedly. Such a tragedy can change people's lives forever, on many levels. While the emotional loss is devastating enough, the family may also experience material losses that can have an effect for decades, adding to the stress of an already difficult change. If someone you care about died in an accident, you may be in a position to file a wrongful death claim to seek compensation for your loss. Serving Miami Wrongful Death Attorney Jarrett Blakeley has vast experience as a wrongful death lawyer, and he can assist you as you explore your legal options to relieve your financial burdens.

Should You Consider Filing a Wrongful Death Lawsuit?

You may be wondering what qualifies as a wrongful death. In the State of Florida, a death is defined as wrongful when "the death of a person is caused by the wrongful act, negligence, default, or breach of contract or warranty of any person…." This law can apply in many different circumstances, so the best plan of action is to contact a Miami Wrongful Death Attorney and relate the details of your specific case. If you believe that the death of your loved one was caused by the actions of another person, an experienced lawyer will be able to help you decide how to proceed.

What Kinds of Damages Can a Miami Wrongful Death Lawyer Help You to Pursue?

Each wrongful death claim is different, but there are standard types of damages that may be applicable in your situation. Although money cannot always help in the emotional healing process, compensation may be able to help you to alleviate some of the burdens from your loss so that you can focus on your loved ones and your healing process. In many cases, a successful claim can provide compensation for funeral expenses, lost earnings, and medical bills. A claim may also result in compensation for the loss of companionship, guidance, instruction, and protection, as well as your pain and suffering. Not everyone is eligible to receive compensation from a wrongful death claim, but children, parents, spouses, and legal representatives of the deceased may be eligible. The only way to find out for sure if you are eligible to be compensated for your loss is to contact a qualified legal professional who specializes in wrongful death cases.

What is the Timeframe for a Wrongful Death Lawsuit?

The various states have their own rules about the statute of limitations for a wrongful death lawsuit. Florida's statute of limitations for such a case is four years. So, if you have experienced the death of a loved one in the last four years, and you believe that that death was caused by the actions of another person, please contact Jarrett Blakeley at the Blakeley Law Firm for a free expert consultation.
