What Qualifies as Wrongful Death?

Dealing with the sudden loss of a loved one is never easy, but it can be especially harrowing when their death was due to the negligent or intentional act of another.

In legal terms, a death is “wrongful” when it is unexpected, preventable, and due to the negligence, carelessness, recklessness, or intentional act of another person or entity. These are civil law claims, as opposed to murder or manslaughter claims, which are criminal matters.

Common Wrongful Death Accidents

A wrongful death can take place in a variety of circumstances. Common incidents that often give rise to wrongful death actions include:

  • Motor vehicle accidents
  • Medical malpractice
  • Defective, dangerous, or mislabeled products
  • Unsafe conditions on a property
  • Workplace accidents
  • Animal attacks
  • Intentional criminal acts

Attorney Ahmad Yakzan

Attorney Ahmad Yakzan came to the United States as a young man to pursue a dream that seemed elusive at times. He struggled but knew what he was aiming for was worth it because he met people who helped him with his goals. Although the dream seemed distant, he carried on.

What Is the Deadline To File a Wrongful Death Action in Florida?

The wrongful death statute of limitations in our state is two years from the death of your loved one. Note that this is different from the statute of limitations for personal injury lawsuits, which is typically four years from the date of the injury.

However, just because you technically have two years to file a claim doesn’t mean you should wait that long. If you delay taking legal action, crucial evidence may be lost or destroyed, memories can fade, and witnesses may move out of state.

To protect your and your family’s interests and maximize your chances of success, you should contact a wrongful death attorney as soon as possible. Our experienced and compassionate attorneys can assist you with all aspects of your wrongful death claim. Let us take care of the legal formalities and help you reclaim your financial stability and peace of mind while you and your family grieve.
