According to Florida state law, spouses, children, and other
dependents or beneficiaries may have the legal right to seek
compensation by filing a wrongful death lawsuit. Compensation may cover
out-of-pocket costs such as medical and funeral expenses, loss of
income, as well as emotional pain and suffering.
All
wrongful death laws have a statute of limitations that limits the
period in which survivors can exercise their rights. The statute of
limitations begins when the person dies: a wrongful death lawsuit must
be filed within the time period specified in order to be considered a
valid claim. To protect your legal rights and interests, contact the wrongful death attorneys at our Orlando, Central Florida office. |
