Wrongful Death

Compassionate Tampa Wrongful Death Attorneys

Our dedicated wrongful death attorneys in Tampa know how difficult it is to lose a loved one under any circumstance. However, losing a loved one to negligence, in an accident that could have been prevented, is traumatizing.

Our wrongful death lawyers also know that when families lose their loved ones in car accidents, workplace incidents, or while seeking medical care, the loss causes immediate heartache and confusion. Sadly, our clients are often blindsided by the financial losses that come with the loss too, which can lead to significant struggles going forward.

We know your loss cannot be undone with money. But we also know it is difficult to fully grieve when you are worried about how you are going to pay your household expenses going forward.

Life is hard enough after someone you love is taken away by another person’s negligence. We want to help ease your transition, so you can take the time you need to heal with your family.

If you believe your loved one’s death was caused by negligence, contact our knowledgeable wrongful death lawyers, so you can fully understand your legal rights and options to hold the liable party accountable for the family’s financial needs.

What are the Most Common Causes of Wrongful Death in Tampa?

Negligence in any form can lead to fatalities. When they do, you and your family may be eligible to pursue a wrongful death claim.

If you have lost a loved one to negligence anywhere, contact our experienced wrongful death attorneys today to learn how we can begin pursuing your claim, so you and your family can get the help you need to move forward with confidence.

Who is Eligible to Pursue a Wrongful Death Claim in Tampa?

Only the personal representative of the deceased person’s estate may legally file the wrongful death claim.

The personal representative may be chosen while the individual is living, and named in a will or estate plan, or may be appointed by the court after the individual’s death if he or she left no will or estate plan naming a representative.

Any compensation that is awarded from the claim, either through negotiations with the negligent party’s insurance company or during litigation, is paid to the victim’s estate for the benefit of their survivors and dependents.

Our skilled wrongful death lawyers can help you understand who is entitled to file the claim, and how to include all eligible survivors, to help ensure that the closest family members are provided for in all matters.

What Type of Financial Compensation Can Be Pursued During a Wrongful Death Claim?

Each wrongful death case in Tampa is unique, and so are the types of financial recovery the family may pursue during their claim.

It is important to discuss the circumstances of your loss with our skilled personal injury attorneys, so you know what damages you may be entitled to before approaching the insurance company for restitution.

We will outline your complete wrongful death financial recovery needs, which may include:

• Funeral and burial expenses
• Lost wages and benefits
• Value of support and services
• Loss of companionship, guidance, and protection

The family member who is eligible to pursue a wrongful death claim is often the beneficiary named in the deceased’s will.

Eligible family members or estate representatives only have two years to file a wrongful death claim, so it is important to speak with a dedicated personal injury attorney as soon as possible, so we can preserve crucial evidence that will help build your case.
