Protecting Your Rights Through a Personalized Approach

Learn More About Mitchell & West

The loss of a loved one due to the negligence or misconduct of another is an extremely painful ordeal to endure. Though Florida laws are subject to change, there are certain laws put in place to protect the families of victims if such accident occurs. If someone else is responsible for your loved one’s death, it is essential you enlist in the help of a Miami wrongful death lawyer you can trust, such as ours at Mitchell & West LLC.

The Florida Wrongful Death Act allows victims’ families to file a wrongful death lawsuit against who or what they believe is responsible for the death of their loved one. The statute of limitations for filing such a lawsuit is 4 years, and the personal representatives for the deceased individual’s estate may seek compensation. Examples include children, spouses, parents of the deceased, and more.  

The person responsible for your loved one’s death, if ordered to, must pay damages for both the survivors as well as the estate. These damages can be paid back so that those entitled can obtain compensation for their pain and suffering, medical bills, loss of work and wages, loss of companionship, loss of parental companionship, instruction and guidance, loss of earnings, funeral expenses, and more.
