When to Call a Wrongful Death Attorney

Wrongful death claims have a time limit. Statute of limitations is a time limit on when you may bring a claim, and evidence critical to the case becomes increasingly difficult to procure the longer you wait. Calling early is the way to safeguard your rights.

In the majority of states, the time frame is as short as a single to three years from the date of death. If there were multiple parties or governmental agencies involved and they were responsible, less time can elapse before liability hardens. Your attorney can help you navigate these legal deadlines and your family’s entitlement to receive justice.

Even if you’re unsure you have a case, a seasoned attorney can guide you through what choices you may have.

FAQs

1: What is the key difference between Florida’s and Alabama’s wrongful death statutes?

Florida’s Wrongful Death Act allows the personal representative of the estate to file on behalf of surviving family members, and adult children may recover for certain losses only if there is no surviving spouse; Alabama’s statute allows specified survivors to bring claims directly and also permits recovery for mental anguish by a parent over the death of a minor child — a category Florida does not include in the same way. More 2 You Law practices in both states and structures your family’s claim to capture the maximum damages available under whichever statute applies.

2: Can a wrongful death civil lawsuit proceed even if the person responsible is also facing criminal charges?

Yes — civil wrongful death and criminal proceedings are entirely separate legal processes with different burdens of proof: a criminal acquittal does not prevent your family from winning a civil wrongful death judgment, as the famous O.J. Simpson case illustrated. More 2 You Law will advise you on timing strategy so the criminal process informs — and doesn’t undermine — your civil claim.

3: What is the difference between a wrongful death claim and a survival action?

A wrongful death claim compensates surviving family members for their own losses — grief, loss of financial support, loss of companionship; a survival action compensates the deceased’s estate for the pain, suffering, and losses the victim personally experienced between the negligent act and their death. More 2 You Law evaluates whether one or both types of claims apply in your case, because the combined damages often significantly exceed what a wrongful death claim alone would yield.

4: Can a family recover wrongful death damages for a child or other non-earning family member?

Yes — even when the deceased had no income, Florida and Alabama law recognize non-economic damages including loss of companionship, mental pain and suffering, and parental grief, which can constitute substantial recoveries independent of any lost financial support. More 2 You Law presents expert testimony on the profound and irreplaceable human value of the relationship lost to ensure that ‘no income’ never translates to ‘no case.’

5: Does the estate need to go through probate before a wrongful death lawsuit can be filed in Florida?

Florida requires that a personal representative of the estate be formally appointed before filing a wrongful death lawsuit — which typically means initiating probate proceedings, even if the estate is otherwise small. More 2 You Law coordinates with probate counsel or handles the representative appointment process directly so this procedural requirement doesn’t delay your family’s access to justice.

6: When are punitive damages available in a Florida wrongful death case?

Florida allows punitive damages in wrongful death cases only when the defendant’s conduct was intentional or constituted gross negligence — conscious and flagrant disregard for human life — such as a drunk driver with a prior DUI history or a nursing home that knowingly ignored documented abuse. More 2 You Law evaluates the defendant’s conduct carefully and pursues punitive damages when the evidence supports them, because these awards can multiply the total compensation your family receives.

7: How is a wrongful death settlement divided among surviving family members?

In Florida, wrongful death settlement funds are distributed according to a court-approved allocation that accounts for each eligible survivor’s individual relationship to the deceased, their dependency on the deceased’s income, and the relative strength of each person’s damages claim — a process requiring careful legal guidance to ensure every family member receives their fair share. More 2 You Law guides families through this allocation process and advocates for distributions that reflect the true impact each survivor has suffered.

8: What if multiple parties share liability for my loved one’s wrongful death?

Florida’s comparative fault system allows you to pursue all liable parties simultaneously and recover a percentage of damages from each based on their degree of responsibility — whether the death involved a distracted driver, a negligent employer, and a defective vehicle all at once. More 2 You Law at 888.645.2222 conducts a comprehensive liability investigation to identify and pursue every responsible party so your family’s recovery is not limited by overlooking even one.
