Nothing is more heartbreaking than losing a loved one.  When a loved one’s death is caused by the negligent conduct of another, be it from an automobile crash or other negligence, the pain to the survivors can even be worse, knowing that such a horrific loss was preventable.

While damages from such a loss are immeasurable, Florida law allows qualified claimants reimbursement for medical and rehabilitation bills, funeral costs, pain and suffering, loss of support and companionship, as well as lost net accumulations to the decedent’s estate.

Dependents and immediate family members (including parents, spouses and children) of a deceased person are normally eligible to seek damages for their loss.  In many cases, other family members may be eligible, as well.
