Why Your Family Needs a Wrongful Death Attorney
Losing a loved one to someone else's negligence is devastating. While nothing can bring them back, a wrongful death claim can provide the financial security your family needs and hold the responsible parties accountable. Florida's wrongful death laws are complex — you need an experienced attorney who will handle the legal burden so you can focus on grieving and healing.
Florida's wrongful death law is unique
Florida's Wrongful Death Act has specific rules about who can file, what damages are recoverable, and who qualifies as a beneficiary. Only the personal representative of the estate can file suit. Our attorneys guide families through every legal requirement.
Insurance companies exploit grief
Insurers know grieving families are vulnerable. They'll push quick, lowball settlements before you understand the full value of your loss. Our wrongful death lawyers protect you from predatory tactics and ensure you receive full compensation.
Evidence must be preserved immediately
Critical evidence — vehicle black boxes, medical records, workplace safety logs, surveillance footage — can be destroyed or overwritten within days. We act immediately to preserve every piece of evidence.
Multiple liable parties may be involved
Wrongful death cases often involve multiple responsible parties — a negligent driver plus their employer, a doctor plus the hospital, a property owner plus a contractor. We identify and pursue every liable entity to maximize your recovery.
Your family's financial future depends on accurate valuation
A wrongful death claim must account for decades of lost income, benefits, parental guidance, household services, and companionship. Accepting an early offer without expert economic analysis almost always means your family is shortchanged for life.
Types of Wrongful Death Cases Our Attorneys Handle
Wrongful death can result from car accidents, medical errors, workplace incidents, dangerous property conditions, and more. Whatever the cause, if someone else's negligence or recklessness took your loved one, our Orlando wrongful death lawyers are here to fight for your family.

We know this is the hardest time of your life. These steps will help protect your family's legal rights while you focus on what matters most.
Focus on Your Family First
Your wellbeing and your family's emotional health come first. Take the time you need to grieve. Legal deadlines matter, but you have time — and that's what an attorney is for.
Preserve All Records
Keep any documents related to the death: police reports, medical records, hospital bills, death certificate, insurance correspondence. Don't throw anything away.
Don't Speak to Insurance Companies
The at-fault party's insurer may contact you quickly with condolences and a settlement offer. Do not give recorded statements or accept any offer without consulting an attorney.
Don't Post on Social Media
Insurance companies and defense attorneys monitor social media. Anything you post can be taken out of context and used against your family's claim.
Appoint a Personal Representative
Under Florida law, only the personal representative of the estate can file a wrongful death lawsuit. If your loved one didn't name one in their will, the court can appoint one.

How Our Wrongful Death Attorneys Fight for Your Family
Compassionate Consultation
We meet with your family to understand what happened and explain your legal options. There's no cost, no obligation, and no pressure — just honest guidance during the hardest time of your life.
Thorough Investigation
We gather evidence, obtain police and medical records, interview witnesses, consult with experts, and reconstruct the events that led to your loved one's death.
Identify All Liable Parties
Wrongful death cases often involve multiple responsible parties. We identify every entity that contributed to the death — drivers, employers, property owners, manufacturers, or healthcare providers.
Calculate Full Damages
We work with economists, vocational experts, and life care planners to calculate the full lifetime value of your loss — not just immediate expenses, but decades of support, companionship, and guidance.
Aggressive Pursuit of Justice
We demand full accountability through negotiation or trial. Most wrongful death cases settle, but we prepare every case for court and won't accept anything less than what your family deserves.
Wrongful Death Settlements & Compensation in Florida
Florida's Wrongful Death Act allows surviving family members to recover compensation for both economic losses and the profound emotional impact of losing a loved one. Our attorneys calculate every dimension of your family's loss to pursue maximum recovery.
Loss of financial support
The income and benefits the deceased would have provided to the family over their remaining lifetime
Loss of companionship & guidance
The emotional loss of a spouse's companionship, a parent's guidance, or a child's love and affection
Mental pain and suffering
The anguish, grief, and emotional distress experienced by surviving family members
Medical expenses
Medical bills incurred between the injury and death, including emergency care, surgery, and treatment
Funeral & burial costs
Reasonable funeral, burial, or cremation expenses borne by the family
Loss of parental guidance
For minor children, the value of instruction, moral guidance, and training they will miss growing up
Loss of household services
The value of household work, childcare, and other contributions the deceased provided to the family
Punitive damages
In cases of extreme recklessness or intentional misconduct, courts may award additional damages to punish the wrongdoer
Wrongful Death Lawsuit Process & Timeline in Florida
Understanding the wrongful death claim process helps families prepare for what lies ahead. In Florida, the statute of limitations gives you two years from the date of death to file a wrongful death lawsuit. Missing this deadline means your family permanently loses the right to seek compensation.
Wrongful death cases are more complex than typical personal injury claims. After your initial consultation, our attorneys conduct a thorough investigation, retain expert witnesses (accident reconstructionists, economists, medical experts), and identify every liable party. We then calculate the full lifetime value of your loss before entering negotiations.
Many wrongful death cases settle within 12 to 18 months, though cases involving multiple defendants or disputed liability can take longer. If a fair settlement cannot be reached, we file suit and prepare for trial in Orange County Circuit Court. Our wrongful death attorneys keep your family informed at every stage and never rush you into a decision.
Florida Statute of Limitations
Under Florida Statutes § 768.19, you have 2 years from the date of your loved one's death to file a wrongful death lawsuit. Evidence degrades quickly and memories fade — acting sooner gives your case the strongest foundation. Contact our Orlando wrongful death attorneys today at (407) 777-8888.
