A wrongful death may occur due to a variety of reasons.  For instance, many motor vehicle accidents are fatal.  Frequently, death results from drinking and driving.  Slip and fall accidents can also cause wrongful deaths. Sometimes, dog bites or other animal attacks are fatal.  Medical errors can cause death.  Moreover, defective products, tainted food, unsafe prescription drugs, and other contaminated substances can cause mortal injuries.

Obviously, some wrongful death cases involve criminal actions.  However, a criminal conviction isn't necessary for a civil action to be successful. In fact, individuals who are acquitted in criminal wrongful death cases are often deemed liable in civil cases.

Wrongful Death Compensation and Damages:

Florida law allows the immediate family of wrongful death victims to seek compensation for the loss of a loved one as a result of the negligence, carelessness, or intentional actions of another.  Depending on the specific circumstances of a Wrongful Death liability case, the victim's family may seek compensation and damages for:

• Lost Earnings;
• Medical and Funeral Benefits;
• Pain and Suffering;
• Loss of Companionship;
• and Possible Additional Punitive Damages.
