Wrongful Death Questions
What is a wrongful death claim in Florida?
A wrongful death claim in Florida allows surviving family members to seek compensation when a loved one dies due to another party's negligence or wrongful act. This includes deaths from car accidents, truck accidents, medical malpractice, and other causes. Florida's Wrongful Death Act governs these claims.
Who can file a wrongful death claim in Florida?
In Florida, a wrongful death claim must be filed by the personal representative of the deceased's estate, on behalf of surviving family members including spouses, children, and parents.
How long do I have to file a wrongful death claim in Florida?
Florida's statute of limitations for wrongful death claims is generally two years from the date of death. It is important to consult with an attorney as soon as possible to preserve your rights.
Does PIP insurance apply in wrongful death cases?
Florida PIP insurance covers medical expenses for injuries sustained in motor vehicle accidents. In a wrongful death case, the deceased's PIP coverage may cover medical expenses incurred before death. Surviving family members injured in the same accident may also have their own PIP claims.
How can PIP Pain Injury help after a wrongful death accident?
PIP Pain Injury can help connect surviving family members who were also injured in the accident with medical providers. We can also provide referrals to attorneys in our network who handle wrongful death cases in Florida.
