In the midst of grieving a loved one’s death, you may be wondering what legal options you have regarding their passing. If you lost a loved one in an event caused by another party’s negligence, you may be able to file a wrongful death claim on their behalf.
Should your case be successful, you may be able to recover the cost of the following damages:
- Various end of life medical bills, including life support and hospice
- Funeral and memorial expenses
- Loss of consortium
- Loss of household benefits and parental guidance
- Loss of income
- Loss of inheritance
The Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine offer support and legal assistance during this difficult time. We acknowledge that nothing can replace your loved one. However, a Melbourne wrongful death lawyer can help you recover the financial losses you incurred due to the liable party’s carelessness or recklessness.

Only a Qualifying Representative Can File a Wrongful Death Action
In Florida, only qualifying representatives are able to file a wrongful death claim on behalf of a decedent.
Under Florida Statute §768.21, the following people can pursue this type of legal action:
- The decedent’s surviving spouse
- The children of the decedent
- The decedent’s parents
- A personal representative of the decedent’s estate
You are not given an unlimited time to file a wrongful death claim. Under Florida Statute §95.11, you have two years from the date of your loved one’s passing to pursue a civil action. For this reason, we encourage you to reach out to a Melbourne wrongful death lawyer as soon as you can. If you do not act within the state’s statute of limitations, you will be barred from filing a lawsuit against the negligent party.
