Common questions

Who can file a wrongful death lawsuit in Florida?

In Florida, the personal representative of the deceased person's estate must file the wrongful death lawsuit. However, they do so on behalf of the deceased's survivors and estate. Eligible survivors typically include the deceased's spouse, children, parents, and any blood relatives or adoptive siblings who were dependent on the deceased for support. The Law Office of Brian R Toung, PA can help determine if you qualify as a beneficiary under Florida's wrongful death statutes.

What is the statute of limitations for wrongful death claims in Florida?

Florida law generally requires wrongful death lawsuits to be filed within two years from the date of death. However, certain circumstances may extend or shorten this timeframe. For instance, cases involving medical malpractice or government entities may have different deadlines. Missing these deadlines typically means permanently losing your right to compensation, which is why consulting with The Law Office of Brian R Toung, PA promptly is crucial to protecting your legal rights.

What types of compensation are available in a wrongful death case?

Compensation in Florida wrongful death cases may include medical and funeral expenses, loss of the deceased's expected income and benefits, loss of companionship and protection, mental pain and suffering of surviving family members, loss of parental guidance for minor children, and punitive damages in cases involving gross negligence. The specific damages available depend on the relationship between the survivor and the deceased.
