Our Firm Establishes That Negligence Led to Your Loved One’s Passing

Most wrongful death cases hinge on the legal concept of negligence. This means, to hold another party financially accountable for your losses, we must prove how their actions led to your loved one’s passing. Using evidence, such as the accident report and accident reconstruction data, we can assert:

The at-fault party owed your loved one a duty of care. This means they had an obligation to act with reasonable caution and prevent harm from befalling others.
The at-fault party acted without care or regard for others’ safety.
They caused your loved one’s fatal accident.
You have damages resulting from your loved one’s passing, such as funeral and burial costs.

You don’t have to learn about proving negligence in a wrongful death case. Our lawyers in Ocala can manage your case’s obligations from start to finish. You don’t have to worry about anything.

Through insurance negotiations or a trial, your lawyer can recover compensation for a host of expenses, including:

Funeral, burial, and memorial expenses
The decedent’s pain and suffering
End-of-life care expenses, including hospice and palliative care
Medications, such as painkillers
Anything you spent out of pocket
Loss of consortium

We’ve recovered millions for wrongful death claimants. Now, you can learn about the outcomes of similar cases we’ve handled. While the outcomes of these claims may not reflect your own, we hope they offer reassurance about our ability to manage your case.

Our Ocala Wrongful Death Lawyers Uphold Your Legal Rights

Florida Statute § 768.19 states that if a deceased individual could have filed a personal injury claim had they survived their injuries, a personal representative can seek damages. This person is generally named in the decedent’s will or assigned by the state. The personal representative seeks compensation on behalf of the decedent’s spouse, children, parents, and other beneficiaries.

You have legal rights after losing a loved one to negligence, and our team aims to uphold them. We don’t let insurance providers, attorneys, and courtroom officials infringe on your rights. We take your case just as seriously as you do.
