Wrongful Death Damages Hold Defendants Accountable & Help Grieving Families
Under Florida law, specifically outlined in statute 768.21, families are entitled to recover damages that account for the financial and non-financial losses they’ve suffered due to the death of their loved one. Recovering damages provides families with financial support and helps secure their future.
Compensation can cover a range of losses, including:
- Lost income and services: This encompasses the financial support the deceased would have provided to the family members, now and in the future.
- Loss of companionship and guidance: Especially for surviving children and spouses, this acknowledges the profound void left by the absence of the deceased.
- Medical and funeral expenses: Costs due to your loved one’s death are recoverable, reducing the financial burden on the family during this challenging time.
- Mental pain and suffering: Recognizing the emotional trauma endured by close family members, compensation for mental anguish is a critical component of wrongful death damages.
Our law firm approaches each case with deep compassion, understanding that while no amount of money can replace your loved one, securing fair compensation is crucial for alleviating financial pressures and supporting your family. Your Hobe Sound wrongful death lawyer will advocate for your family’s rights and fight for compensation that reflects the extent of your losses.
