Wrongful Death
Wrongful Death
No case is handled with more care. When negligence takes a family member, Florida law gives survivors the right to pursue accountability, and we carry that burden so your family does not have to.
Who Can Bring a Claim in Florida
Under Florida's Wrongful Death Act, the claim is filed by the personal representative of the estate on behalf of surviving family members, which may include a spouse, children, and parents. We handle the probate coordination and the legal steps required so nothing is missed while your family is grieving.
What a Claim Can Recover
Recoverable losses can include lost support and services, loss of companionship and protection, mental pain and suffering of survivors, medical and funeral expenses, and the loss of net accumulations to the estate. We work with the right professionals to document these losses fully and accurately.
Handled With Discretion
You will not be pushed into decisions or handed off to staff. Attorney Daniels communicates with your family directly, at whatever pace you need, and takes on every conversation with insurers and opposing counsel on your behalf.

Common Questions
How long do we have to file?
Florida generally allows two years from the date of death for a wrongful death action, with shorter deadlines in certain cases. Reaching out early preserves evidence and options.
Can we file if criminal charges are pending?
Yes. A civil wrongful death claim is separate from any criminal case and can proceed alongside it.
What does representation cost?
Wrongful death cases are handled on a contingency fee. There is no fee unless we recover for your family, and the consultation is free.
Will our family have to testify in court?
Most claims resolve without a trial. If a trial becomes necessary, we prepare your family carefully and shield you from as much of the process as possible.
