A wrongful death claim is brought by family members of a deceased individual who was killed as the result of another’s negligent, reckless or intentional act. Florida wrongful death claims, depending on the facts, can be brought by the spouse, parents, children, brothers and sisters, grandparents, and grandchildren of the deceased.

Wrongful death claims typically arise from:

• Medical malpractice
• Negligent Security
• Auto accidents and truck accidents
• Railroad accidents and aviation accidents
• Boat accidents
• Unsafe Premises
• Defective Products
• Nursing home abuse
