Wrongful Death Lawyer in Tampa

Wrongful death cases fall within the purview of personal injury law, although they differ in that they seek to compensate surviving family members for their losses and suffering rather than the injured individual themselves. These cases can result from a wide range of circumstances, including car accidents, pedestrian accidents, bicycle and motorcycle accidents, medical malpractice, workplace incidents, preventable child deaths such as drowning and/or caretaker neglect, or criminal acts. To pursue a wrongful death claim, it is essential to establish that the responsible party's actions directly led to the victim's death. Damages in these cases typically cover funeral and burial expenses, lost financial support, and the emotional anguish experienced by surviving family members as detailed by Florida's Wrongful Death Act.

Wrongful death cases aim to provide some financial relief to those left behind while holding accountable those responsible for the loss of a loved one.

Because wrongful death cases are ruled by a separate statutory scheme, legal expertise is crucial in these cases to ensure that the surviving family members receive just compensation for their grief and hardship.
