Wrongful Death Liability

Few things in life are as devastating as the wrongful death of a loved one.

Most families do not realize the full impact a wrongful death can have on their lives until significant time has passed. Understandably, many people feel that speaking with an attorney about their legal rights while they are still grieving will increase their feelings of distress. It is recommended, however, that you contact legal counsel at the earliest possible time for the following reasons.

Preserving crucial physical evidence, determining the facts, obtaining witness statements, and proper investigation of the events which led to and caused the wrongful death are best done as close to the events as possible.

I have represented many Orlando and Central Florida residents with wrongful death claims and I am committed to protecting the legal rights of each and every client. Please call me when you are ready.

Since all wrongful death suits will differ based on the specific circumstances, your lawyer must properly determine what compensation each family member may be able to seek as a result of the death. These damages may include:

• Lost future earnings;
• Medical and Funeral Expenses;
• Pain and Suffering;
• Loss of Companionship;
• Possible punitive damages.
