Fort Lauderdale Wrongful Death Lawyer
The sudden death of an innocent loved one can be both emotionally and financially debilitating. A Wrongful Death claim is a cause of action which arises from the victim's death and is brought by the surviving beneficiaries or dependents of the deceased victim.
A Wrongful Death lawsuit claims that the deceased victim’s death was caused in whole or in part by the defendant's conduct and that the surviving beneficiaries and dependents are entitled to monetary damages as a result of the defendant's conduct.
Types of Wrongful Death Cases include but are not limited to:
- Medical Malpractice
- Motor Vehicle Accidents
- Motorcycle Accidents
- Airplane Accidents
- Slip and Falls
- Defective Products
- Construction Site Accidents
- Criminal Attacks
- Work-Related Exposure to Dangerous Conditions or Substances
- Death during a supervised activity
The action for Wrongful Death must be brought by the decedent's personal representative, or as many people know it, the executor of the estate. The personal representative or executor brings the claim on behalf of all the decedent's survivors who are legally entitled to recover damages. Survivors can include a spouse, parent, children and other lineal descendants.
