The personal representative of the estate of a deceased person is authorized to file a lawsuit when someone dies through the negligent act of another. This is called a wrongful death claim. Wrongful death cases can arise from any type of personal injury case such as medical malpractice, automobile accidents, airplane accidents, dog mauling cases, slip and falls, and all other torts.

Wrongful death claims in Florida is purely based on statutory law, namely Fla. Stat. 768.16 through 768.26 codify the Florida Wrongful Death Act (the “Act”). The Act is remedial in nature and therefore the Courts are to construe the statutes liberally. As an example, a personal representative may bring a wrongful action when the tortuous act of another causes your family member’s death. Unlike other personal injury claims, wrongful death claims should be preceded by an estate opened in probate court.

Know your rights through the help of a Wrongful Death Attorney

Once a wrongful death occurs, the pre-death tortuous claim is extinguished so that no simultaneous right of action under the Wrongful Death Statutes exist. Because a cause of action under the underlying personal injury claim is extinguished, the statute of limitations for the wrongful death claim prevails. The statute of limitations for a wrongful death claim is commonly less than the underlying personal injury claim. Accordingly, it is imperative that you seek immediate action from our Firm to avoid losing legal rights and remedies.

How We Work On Injury Case

Our Usual Process

  • Get Started Right Away. The first thing you should do is hire an attorney with knowledge and litigation experience involving injuries. Tucker Law has obtained large six figure jury verdicts in car crashes and slip and falls.

  • Medical Treatment. Following a car crash, medical treatment is paramount for you to get better, but also important for documenting your injuries. Insurance companies pounce on folks that don’t seek medical care immediately after a car crash.

  • Vehicle Loss. Whether your car is in need of repairs or a total loss, Tucker Law will help explain your options for fixing or replacing your vehicle. We know that even when folks are seriously injured, the loss of use of your vehicle can be more devastating than the physical pain.

  • Negotiation. Because the majority of case settle without going to trial, negotiation is an important part of your case. Negotiation doesn’t end with filing a lawsuit–and it generally includes much more than simply dollars and cents. Tucker Law will begin negotiating aspects of your case almost as soon as we are hired and usually continues until the moment a jury reads their verdict.

  • Jury Trial. Some lawyers have never seen the inside of a court room. Insurance companies know which attorneys file suit and which ones won’t. Tucker Law tries cases and that has resulted in better results for clients.
