Florida Fatal Injury Attorneys
When someone is fatally injured because of the negligence, recklessness, or intentional acts of another person (or a company), the legal term used is wrongful death. These cases can come about in a variety of contexts: transportation or workplace accidents, medical malpractice, or products liability, to name a few. When they do occur, relatives of the victim need to know that the wrongful death law can provide some measure of relief – and accountability. It provides for compensation for the damages incurred as a result of the wrongful death of a loved one. And by doing so, it forces those who caused the harm to take responsibility for their actions. The emotional and monetary losses suffered by a family after a wrongful death can be devastating. Most plaintiffs know that they may be able to recover for the deceased's lost earnings, and pain and suffering. But they can also recover for damages such as medical and funeral expenses, loss of pension benefits, and their own mental anguish and loss of care, protection, and companionship. Recovery, however, can get tricky, as each state has its own wrongful death statutes, unique to its own jurisdiction. That's why it's important to speak with an experienced lawyer who is not just familiar with state law, but an expert at leveraging and navigating it. At Babbitt, Johnson, Osborne & Le Clainche, P.A., we've been litigating under Florida's wrongful death law for four decades. In the hardest of times, our clients can rest assure that we are dedicated to protecting their rights – and aggressively enforcing them.
