Losing a loved one is an unimaginable tragedy, and when their death is caused by another’s negligence, the pain can be even more profound. In such devastating times, wrongful death claims offer a path to seek justice and hold responsible parties accountable.

Wrongful death occurs when a person dies due to the negligence or misconduct of another individual or entity. It is a legal claim that allows the deceased person’s family to seek compensation for their loss, covering damages such as medical expenses, funeral costs, and lost future income.
This type of claim serves not only to provide financial relief but also to hold responsible parties accountable for their actions, ensuring that justice is served.
In Florida, a wrongful death claim can be filed by the personal representative of the deceased person’s estate. This representative, often appointed in the deceased’s will or by the court, acts on behalf of the surviving family members, including the spouse, children, and parents. The claim seeks to recover damages for the losses they have suffered due to the wrongful death.
“People come to us at the hardest moments of their lives. My job is to give them strength, fight for what’s right, and make sure their voice is heard where it matters most—in court.”
In Florida, those who can recover damages in a wrongful death case include the deceased’s spouse, children, and parents. The law is designed to compensate these immediate family members for both economic and non-economic losses.
Economic damages may cover lost financial support, medical expenses, and funeral costs. Non-economic damages address the emotional impact, such as the loss of companionship and mental anguish experienced by the survivors.
In certain cases, other relatives or dependents who were financially dependent on the deceased may also be eligible to claim damages, reflecting the broader impact of the loss on the family unit.
When accidents happen, every moment counts. At Burnetti, P.A., we treat every client like family, providing personalized attention and aggressive representation to protect your rights. Reach out now for a free consultation and start your path to justice.
In Florida, the statute of limitations for filing a wrongful death claim is two years from the date of the deceased person’s death. This deadline is crucial because if the claim is not filed within this period, the right to pursue legal action is typically forfeited, meaning you will not be able to file a claim.
The statute is designed to ensure that claims are brought forward in a timely manner, allowing for more accurate evidence gathering and witness testimony. Given the complexities of wrongful death cases and the emotional toll on families, it’s essential to consult with a Sebring wrongful death attorney as soon as possible.
Early legal guidance can help navigate the process, ensuring that all necessary documentation and evidence are collected to build a strong case within the legal timeframe.
