Wrongful Death Laws in Florida
Under the Florida Wrongful Death Act, the state’s discretion is to shift the losses that result when wrongful death occurs from the survivors of the descendant to the wrongdoer. Additionally, the law states that if your loved one’s death has been caused by the negligence or wrongdoing of any person, he/she is liable for damages caused by the death.
You should also know that Florida law limits the amount of financial recovery made available to the family members of victims of accidental deaths. For example, certain limitations are placed on the ability for parents to bring a wrongful death claim for adult children. According to Florida wrongful death laws, claims related to accidental losses must also be filed within a period of two years of the date of the accident.
