Car crashes, motorcycle accidents, medical malpractice, and other tragic events form the basis of many personal injury lawsuits in Florida. Where death is involved, they usually include the filing of a claim for damages resulting from the victim’s wrongful death against the negligent person. Damages based upon wrongful death can include a wide variety of things, from seeking reimbursement for funeral expenses to the long-term loss of parental guidance and support for the decedent’s children.
A loved one’s death is undoubtedly the most tragic situation that any person may deal with at any given moment. The truth of the matter is that we will never be prepared for the death of a family member or friend, especially if their death was caused by someone else’s negligence.
