Why You Need a Wrongful Death Attorney
When a loved one is taken due to negligence or misconduct, it is crucial to have an experienced Florida wrongful death lawyer on your side. These cases often involve complex legal and procedural intricacies that can be overwhelming for grieving families to navigate alone. Hiring a skilled attorney ensures that your rights are protected and that you have a dedicated advocate working tirelessly for you.
Our team at Brandon J. Broderick understands that these cases are highly sensitive. We handle every case with utmost care, focusing on building a compelling claim by collecting evidence, consulting with experts, and negotiating with insurance companies and opposing counsel.
Elements of a Wrongful Death Claim in Florida
In Florida, a wrongful death claim must meet specific criteria to be successful: - Duty of Care: The responsible party had a duty to act safely or responsibly. - Breach of Duty: The duty was breached through negligent or reckless behavior. - Causation: The breach directly caused the untimely death. - Damages: The surviving loved ones suffer quantifiable damages due to the death.
Proving these elements in court requires expertise and meticulous attention to detail. Let our knowledgeable Tampa personal injury attorneys guide you through the legal process to ensure justice is served.
Compensation in Wrongful Death Cases
Money can never replace a loved one. However, financial compensation can ease the future burdens on your family. Possible recoveries in wrongful death include: - Medical and funeral costs - Lost wages and benefits of the deceased - Loss of companionship and support - Emotional suffering and mental anguish
Determining the appropriate amount requires a deep understanding of both the legal system and the specific circumstances of the case. Rely on our attorneys who have successfully advocated for many families to help you pursue full compensation.
