We Will Fight for Every Dollar You Deserve

We know that compensation isn’t all that matters after you’ve lost a loved one. However, a successful claim or lawsuit helps you get justice and covers the expenses and losses this tragedy has left you with. Per Florida Statute § 768.21, you may be entitled to:

• Reasonable funeral and burial costs
• The costs of any medical care your loved one received before their passing
• Future lost wages, which can include any wages they would have brought home and benefits, such as health insurance
• Lost services for any tasks your loved one would have handled around the house had they lived (e.g., childcare, yard work, housekeeping, etc.)
• Loss of companionship and protection
• Mental pain and suffering
• Loss of parental companionship, guidance, and instruction

Our team will listen to your story, investigate the accident, and determine what damages are recoverable.

The law can’t undo a tragedy, but it can secure a future. In the most serious cases, every decision we make has lifelong impact and that’s why we prepare every case as if it’s going to trial.

Our dedication is important, but so are our results. We have recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for our clients, including:

You Pay Nothing Upfront for Our Legal Services

Many people who could really benefit from legal help don’t get it because they think they can’t afford a lawyer. That’s not true. Our team only takes injury cases on a contingency-fee basis. We offer a free consultation and don’t charge a retainer or hourly fees. In fact, you only pay us for our time if we recover compensation for you. Our fee is an agreed-upon percentage of your settlement or award.

You don’t face any financial risks when you call us, and you get the legal help you deserve.

Florida Law Limits How Long You Have to Recover Compensation

Since you don’t have to worry about waiting until you’ve raised the funds to get legal help, we recommend you call us today. This is especially important as you have a limited time to take action. Per Florida Statute § 95.11, you only have two years to file a wrongful death lawsuit.

If you fail to file before the deadline, known as the statute of limitations, expires, you risk recovering nothing. You or your attorney can still negotiate with the insurance company, but without the threat of a lawsuit, the insurer will likely refuse to give you what you deserve.

We Help You Understand Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim

One of the most confusing parts of a wrongful death claim is establishing who can file it. Only the personal representative (also known as the executor) of your loved one’s estate can file a claim. Typically, the will designates someone as the personal representative; if not, the court will designate someone. The personal representative files on behalf of your loved one’s estate as well as surviving family members (e.g., spouse, children, and parents).

We know this is confusing, but we can help clear it up when you call us. We can determine whether you are the personal representative, whether you could be named the personal representative, and whether you can benefit from a settlement or award.
