Levy County Wrongful Death Lawyers

The Bronson, FL, attorneys at Whittel & Melton, LLC are ready to represent your family if you have suddenly lost a loved one due to negligence. In Florida, a lawsuit can be brought in Florida court when a death is caused by the misconduct of another person, persons, or company/business. This is called a “wrongful death”.

The negligent act can be any kind of reckless conduct. The conduct could be the product of one person or a corporate entity such as a hotel, hospital, car company, or drug company. According to Florida law, “survivors” of the deceased party are entitled to receive monetary compensation for a wrongful death. This is similar to someone being compensated for an injury caused by simple negligence. In fact, the major difference in these types of cases is the damages analysis, as obviously the devastating product of a death is quite different than that of a car accident that causes a back injury.
