Florida Wrongful Death Lawyers
​When Negligence Results in the Loss of a Loved One
There are no words that make the loss of a loved one easier.
​
When a fatal accident is caused by the negligence of another, families are left grieving while also facing unexpected financial and legal burdens. Medical expenses, funeral costs, and the loss of income can create overwhelming pressure during an already devastating time.
​
If you have lost a family member due to someone else’s negligence anywhere in Florida, you may have the right to pursue a wrongful death claim.
Schwartz Injury Law vigorously represents families throughout Florida in serious wrongful death cases. We handle these matters with strength, preparation, and respect.
What Is a Wrongful Death Claim?
Under Florida law, a wrongful death claim arises when a person’s death is caused by the negligence, recklessness, or misconduct of another party.
These cases commonly stem from:
​
-
Car accidents
-
Truck accidents
-
Motorcycle accidents
-
Pedestrian accidents
-
Dangerous property conditions
-
Negligent security
-
Other catastrophic incidents
A wrongful death claim is a civil action designed to provide financial accountability when negligence results in a preventable loss.
Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim in Florida?
Florida law requires that a personal representative file the claim on behalf of the estate and surviving family members.
Eligible beneficiaries may include:
-
A surviving spouse
-
Children
-
Parents
-
Other dependent relatives
Determining eligibility and available damages requires careful legal evaluation.
