Wrongful Death Claims In Florida
A wrongful death is caused by another party’s negligent or wrongful action. Florida law gives the survivors of a wrongful death victim the right of action to recover compensation for their damages.
In some wrongful deaths, criminal charges may also be filed against the wrongdoer. However, the criminal case is separate and distinct from the wrongful death claim.
Florida Statutes §768.18 gives the right to file a wrongful death action to the decedent’s spouse, children, and parents. Other family members may also be entitled to claim compensation if they were financially dependent on the decedent.
You must consult an experienced wrongful death lawyer in Naples to know whether you have the right to recover compensation for your loved one’s death.
What Type of Damages Are Recoverable in a Naples Wrongful Death Claim?
The types of damages recoverable in a Florida wrongful death action are provided in Florida Statute §768.21 and include:

- Loss of the deceased’s earnings
- Loss of companionship
