Proven advocates pursue appropriate payments for bereaved family members

It is impossible to attach a financial value to the benefits we receive from a beloved family member, but the law does provide specific types of damages to help hold the liable parties accountable:

Medical costs — Healthcare expenses are recoverable for treatment given to the victim prior to their death.
Funeral expenses — Burial costs and other expenses associated with funerals can be awarded by the court in wrongful death actions.
Unearned wages — We make a thorough examination of a decedent’s earning ability to achieve a result that fully compensates families for the income that the victim would have provided throughout their lifetime.
Loss of companionship — By working personally with each family, we create a compelling case to show how much the deceased individual contributed to their household and supported their loved ones.

Our firm works tirelessly so that an eventual judgment or settlement reflects each type of relief available under the Florida Wrongful Death Act.
