Jacksonville Wrongful Death Attorney
Florida Accident & Injury Lawyer
A wrongful death claim is one concerning the accidental death of a person, or a death caused by negligence, recklessness or intentional wrongdoing. Wrongful death claims are brought to civil court, where the family can sue for damages. This is opposed to a criminal case, where criminal penalties are imposed (jail time, probation, etc.) – however, a case involving the death of one person may be brought to both criminal and civil court, for instance, if the criminal case is lost.

Compensation for Wrongful Death Claims in Florida
In Florida, a family member who has lost a loved one may be entitled to compensation upon the successful conclusion of a wrongful death claim. This compensation may include medical expenses, funeral costs and other financial and emotional losses suffered by the family. This money, in the form of an out of court settlement or judgment awarded by the court, can dramatically change the family’s future – making it no longer uncertain. That is precisely what our Jacksonville Wrongful Death Lawyers work to achieve – to help families in Florida who have lost a loved one.
