Wrongful Damages Can Include Tangible and Intangible Losses

No amount of money can compensate for what happened to your loved one. We know that. We understand that your family member’s wrongful death may have left you facing expenses that, as a victim of negligence, you should not have to pay.

We offer our deepest condolences for your loss and would consider it an honor to represent your family. Our Belleview wrongful death attorneys can seek economic and non-economic damages on behalf of the deceased’s estate and qualifying survivors. Your family’s damages may include the following:

Medical bills. We can recover final medical expenses arising due to your loved one’s injury. Medical damages may include emergency transportation and treatment, medical procedures, hospital stays, nursing, palliative care, and hospice.
Lost income. We can seek lost wages from the time of your loved one’s accident until their death. We can also pursue awards for future income, earnings, and employment benefits your family member would have provided had they lived.
Lost services and support. Wrongful death compensation may include monetary awards for the loss of your loved one’s services, companionship, protection, and parental guidance and instruction.
Pain and suffering. We can pursue damages for survivors’ mental pain and suffering.

We Have Recovered Significant Compensation for Families

We are proud of the case results we have achieved for our clients. We have recovered the following awards for the families of wrongful death victims:

$4,250,000

Golf Cart Accident

Our client tragically lost his life when a distracted golf cart driver crashed into our client while he was riding his bicycle. Our client was an avid cyclist and was riding his usual route when a golf cart made a left turn and cut across our client’s bike path. The impact of the collision was so severe that our client was knocked off his bicycle into the air and landed in the roadway. Due to the golf cart driver’s failure to adhere to standard traffic regulations and exercise due caution, our client was tragically killed. Our office is pursuing a wrongful death action on behalf of the surviving family.

$1,450,000

Motorcycle Accident

A woman on a motorcycle was hit by a car that resulted in leg amputation below the knee.

$1,250,000

Pedestrian Accident

A female pedestrian was hit by a car that was pulling out of a parking lot that resulted in lower back surgery and a spinal stimulator implant.

$995,000

Car Accident

When hit by a driver of a Ford Credit company who ran a stop-sign at an intersection of a highway causing – multiple cervical fractures, a frontal lobe brain injury, a right shoulder injury, and a right broken arm.

$950,000

Golf Cart Accident

Our client was enjoying an afternoon riding in a golf cart when another golf cart t-boned our client’s cart. Our client suffered significant injuries resulting in permanent disfigurement of her feet, hands, and TBI’s. Our firm was able to successfully settle this matter pre-suit for our client for $950,000.00.

$500,000

Traumatic Brain Injury

Our client was severely injured in an intersection crash. She suffered two (2) significant “jolts” – the first from when she was T-boned in the intersection, and the second from when the original impact caused her to strike a utility pole. The crash caused highly painful low back injuries, initially forcing the client to undergo aggressive pain management, including radiofrequency ablations (nerve burning). A highly compelling, emotional video was prepared featuring testimony from the client and her Aunt about the mental, emotional, and physical problems the client has faced since the crash. The case settled pre-suit for $500,000.00.

$500,000

Car Accident

Our client was a driving on a curved road in a residential neighborhood in South Florida at midnight when he was struck head-on by a high-performance sportscar traveling at a very high rate of speed. One of the witnesses to the crash was a U.S. Army Officer who saw the sportscar literally “fly through the median” prior to striking our client’s vehicle. Fortunately, the at-fault vehicle initially struck bushes and knocked over a palm tree prior to the collision, otherwise the injuries to our client most likely would have been fatal. A life care plan for the client was prepared by a highly qualified, well respected certified life care planner hired by our firm, and ultimately, the case settled for $500,000.00.

$450,000

Motorcycle Accident

Our client was preparing to stop when the car driven behind them failed to notice and crashed into the rear of our client’s vehicle. The hit was of such force that it knocked our client’s vehicle into oncoming traffic where he ultimately came to a stop in the ditch on the opposite side of the road. Our client suffered catastrophic injuries. The case ultimately settled pre-suit for $450,000.00.

Who Can File a Wrongful Death Case in Florida?

In Florida, Florida Statutes § 768.20 states that the deceased’s legal representative (executor) must take action. Beneficiaries who wish to make a claim must be named in the lawsuit.

Survivors can recover compensation for damages they paid out of pocket and can receive awards for pain, suffering, and intangible losses. Any expenses paid by the estate will be recovered by the estate and disbursed to the deceased’s heirs.

How Long Do You Have to File a Wrongful Death Case in Florida?

Some wrongful death claims are compensable through insurance claims. For example, if your loved one died in a motor vehicle collision, we can seek damages with an auto liability claim. You should file insurance claims immediately.

If we cannot secure a fair settlement or a claim is not an option, we can seek damages in Marion County Court. According to Florida Statutes § 95.11, you generally have two years to file a wrongful death lawsuit. We can help you pursue your case before the statute of limitations expires.
