We’ll Seek Appropriate Damages in a Wrongful Death Claim

Your Florida wrongful death attorney can help you recover damages (money owed to you for your financial and non-financial losses) for multiple items, including:

• Funeral and burial expenses
• Medical bills your loved one accrued before their passing
• Loss of financial support provided by your loved one

The Negligent Driver Could Owe You Punitive Damages

A willful disregard for the rights, safety, and lives of others is reprehensible by most standards. This is the exact behavior that intoxicated drivers display. If your loved one passed away in a fatal car accident in Florida due to another driver’s intoxication, you may be entitled to punitive damages. Under Florida Statutes § 768.72, the courts can award these damages to punish offenders in certain situations. For instance, the court may levy punitive damages on a driver who chronically drinks and drives.

Your fatal car accident lawyer can advise you of the specific damages you are entitled to in your Florida wrongful death case. We will also guide you through the legal requirements for filing a claim.

$1,000,000 Verdict

"I am so very grateful to have had this firm represent me. I was in a car accident a few years ago, but the car insurance company of the person who totaled my car would not replace my car, nor pay for my medical bills. We ended up going to court and because of Mr. Pickett, we won the case. Thank you so much for all you did for us!!!!"

We Will Manage Your Wrongful Death Case’s Deadlines

Florida limits how long you have to file a wrongful death lawsuit. Florida Statutes § 95.11(4)(d) notes that you generally have two years to file your case. The two-year deadline begins from the date of your loved one’s passing.

Florida Statutes § 95.051 notes that some exceptions may apply, depending on the details of your loved one’s passing. For instance, if your loved one passed away in a hit-and-run collision, the state could pause your filing deadline until the at-fault driver is found.

There are many things that go into preparing and filing a wrongful death case. We recommend starting the legal process as soon as possible. If you file your case too late, the courts could dismiss it. When you partner with our injury firm, we will manage your case’s deadlines and everything they require.

Your Legal Advocate is a Former Prosecutor Dedicated to Fighting for Victims and Families

As a former prosecutor, I understand the importance of meeting critical deadlines. Further, this courtroom litigation experience has enabled me to take on big insurance corporations and try to verdict more than 50 jury trials in the last 10 years.

My experience gives me unique insight into traffic accident cases like yours. We make every effort to settle with the insurance company in negotiations, but we aren’t afraid to go to trial. When you choose me as your Florida fatal accident attorney, I will:

• Conduct a detailed investigation of your loved one’s deadly car crash
• Gather evidence of the negligence that led to your loved one’s passing
• Determine who the liable parties are
• Compile your records to prove economic and non-economic losses
• Communicate with all parties, including the insurance company, witnesses, medical professionals, experts, and police on your behalf
• Provide consistent communication, such as frequent updates on your case
• Fight for you in court, if a lawsuit is the right path to compensation for you
