Wrongful Death Attorneys In Melbourne, FL

Andrew Pickett Law represents families who have lost loved ones due to negligence in Melbourne, Florida and throughout surrounding Space Coast communities in Brevard County. If someone else’s reckless actions caused the death of a family member, our experienced Melbourne wrongful death lawyers help surviving families pursue compensation and accountability through Florida’s wrongful death laws.

Wrongful Death Lawyers Serving Melbourne, Florida

Losing a loved one unexpectedly is one of the most devastating experiences a family can face. When a fatal accident occurs because of negligence, Florida law allows surviving family members to pursue a wrongful death claim against the responsible party.

At Andrew Pickett Law, our legal team represents families throughout Melbourne and Brevard County in wrongful death cases involving serious accidents such as motor vehicle crashes, unsafe property conditions, boating incidents, and other preventable tragedies. Our firm carefully investigates the circumstances of each case and works to hold negligent individuals, businesses, and insurance companies accountable.

Compensation Available in a Melbourne Wrongful Death Case

Florida wrongful death claims allow certain family members to recover financial damages after the loss of a loved one. Depending on the circumstances, compensation may include:

  • Funeral and burial expenses
  • Medical expenses related to the fatal injury
  • Loss of financial support and future income
  • Loss of companionship and emotional support
  • Pain and suffering experienced by surviving family members
  • Other economic and non-economic damages permitted under Florida law

Because wrongful death claims involve complex legal procedures and strict deadlines, families often benefit from speaking with an experienced attorney who can guide them through the process and protect their rights.

"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!!!!"
