Additionally, the term “wrongful death” is a legal concept that refers to an individual’s death caused by the negligence of another party. Moreover, the survivors of the deceased file the claim or lawsuit, rather than it being filed on behalf of the deceased. The Personal Representative commonly acts as the named plaintiff for any damages suffered by spouses, children, siblings, parents, or financial dependents.

If you have already spoken to an insurance representative, it’s okay; it is not too late. Insurance companies will often offer pennies on the dollar to unsophisticated future plaintiffs. In our time as wrongful death attorneys in Florida, we have come across situations where insurance companies send their representatives in company cars, with flowers in one hand and a check for far less than the real value of a case.

You don’t need to fall victim to those types of tactics. Allow our firm to take control of the situation and dictate to the insurance company what you will or will not accept, not the other way around!
