Wrongful Death Attorneys
A Florida Wrongful Death Claim is quite different from other personal injury claims, which means it is easy to become confused, especially in the days following the unexpected loss of a loved one.
Our Personalized
Approach
At the Law Offices of Jorge L. Flores, P.A., we are also different in the way we deal with the families of those who have lost their lives due to the negligence or intentional acts of others. In seeking to recover wrongful death compensation, we will meet personally with families to learn as much as possible about the victim and what their loss means to surviving members of the family. We will also explain in as much detail as necessary who the potential claimants may be and the damages available to each.
Damages under The Florida Wrongful Death Act
Recoverable damages may include medical, hospital, funeral, and burial expenses; loss of support, services, companionship, and protection; mental pain and suffering; loss of parental companionship, instruction, and guidance; loss earnings; and the loss of prospective net accumulations the decedent will likely have saved if they have lived.
Losses Suffered by Family Members
Losses suffered by the decedent’s spouse, children, or next of kin may also be accounted for and include:
Loss of financial support
Loss of service
Loss of gifts or other valuable gratuities
Loss of parental training and guidance
Loss of society and companionship
Family Disputes over Estate Representation
An unfortunate aspect of Florida wrongful death cases is that sometimes there are disputes among family members as to who shall be the personal representative of the estate, as the personal representative gets to select the attorney and has greater influence over the distribution of any award of damages. These disputes can be quite disruptive and unpleasant when families seem more concerned about who gets what, as opposed to the fact that they lost a loved one forever.
Compassionate and Aggressive Representation
During the entire process, we are cognizant and sensitive of the pain felt by the survivors and offer compassionate yet aggressive representation throughout the entirety of the wrongful death litigation. At the Law Offices of Jorge L. Flores, P.A., our team will take the time to make sure you understand every aspect of your case, so you feel comfortable each step of the way, and in the process, we will help you turn your focus and attention back to your loved ones.
We Believe
That the Key to Obtaining Excellent Results is to Prepare as if Every Case Will Reach a Courtroom and Jury. Proudly Serving the Entire State of Florida, Including:
