Welcome to The Law Firm of Vanessa L. King – Your Trusted Wrongful Death Advocate in Florida

Tragic Loss Due to Negligence

When someone else’s careless or reckless actions take a loved one’s life, you deserve justice and compensation.

Losing a loved one is an indescribable tragedy, especially when the death is caused by the negligence, recklessness, or intentional actions of another. At The Law Firm of Vanessa L. King, we are dedicated to helping families in Florida pursue justice for their loss through wrongful death claims.

What is a Wrongful Death Claim?

In Florida, a wrongful death claim is a legal action brought when someone dies due to the unlawful or negligent actions of another person, company, or entity. The claim can help hold the responsible party accountable and seek compensation for the surviving family members.

Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim in Florida?

Under Florida law, only certain individuals are eligible to file a wrongful death claim, including:

  • The surviving spouse
  • Children of the decedent
  • Parents (if no spouse or children)
  • Siblings and other family members in some circumstances

An experienced wrongful death attorney can help determine whether you qualify to file a claim and guide you through the legal process.

Common Causes of Wrongful Death in Florida

Wrongful death claims can arise from a variety of circumstances, including but not limited to:

  • Car accidents and motor vehicle collisions
  • Medical malpractice or surgical errors
  • Workplace accidents and construction site incidents
  • Defective products or dangerous drugs
  • Premises liability (slip-and-fall accidents)
  • Criminal acts, such as assault or homicide

If your loved one’s death was caused by any of these situations, you may be entitled to compensation.

Compensation in Wrongful Death Cases

While no amount of money can replace a loved one, Florida’s wrongful death laws allow surviving family members to recover various forms of compensation, including:

  • Funeral and burial expenses
  • Medical expenses incurred prior to death
  • Loss of financial support and future earnings
  • Loss of companionship, guidance, and emotional support
  • Pain and suffering for the surviving family members

The Statute of Limitations for Wrongful Death in Florida

Time is of the essence when pursuing a wrongful death claim. Florida law limits the time you have to file a wrongful death lawsuit to two years from the date of death. If you fail to file within this period, you may lose your right to seek justice and compensation. It’s crucial to contact an experienced Florida wrongful death attorney as soon as possible.
