Compensation for Wrongful Death
No amount of money can ever bring back your loved one, but Florida law does require that a person, company or government agency responsible for a death must provide compensation to close surviving family members such as spouses, parents and children. A family member eligible to bring a wrongful death claim may be compensated for actual financial loss such as for the costs of treating injuries prior to death as well as for the cost of a funeral to bury the deceased. Surviving family members may also receive monetary payments for the money the deceased would have earned over his life, and can even be compensated for lost companionship.
Obtaining compensation for wrongful death, however, requires you to pursue a claim and actually take legal action. Our Okeechobee wrongful death accident attorneys can take care of handling your case for you, doing everything from filing the lawsuit with the court to negotiating with an insurance company representing the person who caused the death.
RELENTLESS LEGAL REPRESENTATION FOR Okeechobee INJURY VICTIMS
A personal injury can occur in a variety of ways, but almost all have the same results in common. Suddenly, your life is disrupted and possibly jeopardized physically, emotionally, and financially by an accident or incident which could have been prevented.
Resolving Your Wrongful Death Claim
A wrongful death claim can be resolved by an out-of-court settlement if the insurance company agrees to pay a fair amount of money to cover all losses. The case can also be resolved by proving your claim in court and showing a judge or a jury that the defendant was negligent or careless in a way that was a direct cause of the death. If your case does go to court, a judge or jury will decide the amount of money you deserve. Whether the case is resolved via a settlement or whether your Okeechobee wrongful death attorney advocates for you in a court of law, you should be fully and fairly compensated.
