Accidental  Death      When a loved one is wrongfully killed, it is a devastating time for the family. Not only is there the mental anguish understandably associated with the wrongful death, but there are often medical or hospital expenses and funeral expenses which must be addressed, as well as the loss of financial support by the decedent.
     The State of Florida has statutes that deal specifically with claims striking compensation for wrongful death. These claims identify who can bring a claim for wrongful death; survivors who can be compensated when there is a wrong death; and the damages that are recoverable where there has been a wrongful death. In addition, Florida law provides for a shortened Statute of Limitations for wrongful death claims, requiring these claims must be brought within two years of the death.
