What Does a Wrongful Death Lawsuit Accomplish?
There are multiple reasons that Florida law allows for wrongful death claims after a tragic accident. First, one purpose of a wrongful death complaint is to give the victim’s family the same financial position that they may have had if the accident had never occurred. Putting you in the same place financially means compensating you for your loved one’s medical bills and final expenses. It means compensation for the income that your loved one likely would have earned to support the family.
What you can recover in a wrongful death lawsuit is partially based on the real, actual financial losses associated with your loved one’s death. If your loved one would have earned an income that you rely on, you deserve compensation to help your family. Your economic losses are any kind of financial loss that you have because of the wrongful death. We can help you determine the full extent of your economic losses.
In addition to economic losses, you deserve compensation for your emotional suffering and mental anguish. Losing a loved one unexpectedly is excruciatingly painful both mentally and emotionally. It can be a crippling experience for the entire family. Your pain is genuine. You can claim compensation for your anguish. Even though compensation can never bring your loved one back, it can give you some justice as you seek to hold those responsible for your loved one’s death accountable for their actions.
