The Citron Law Firm- Florida Personal Injury and Accident Attorneys

Coral Springs Wrongful Death Lawyer

A wrongful death is a death caused by the reckless or intentional conduct of another that results in an untimely death of a loved one. 

A wrongful death action is brought against the party who caused the wrongful death. An action is usually filed on behalf of the surviving family members of the deceased due to wrongful death, normally a spouse or child.  In some circumstances, a parent or other family member may also bring an action.  A spouse or child may be able to recover money after the loss of a parent or spouse through wrongful death, including lost financial earnings of the deceased parent or spouse.  The wrongful death attorneys at Citron Law Firm represent surviving family members in Coral Springs and across Florida.

Most states have created laws allowing a wrongful death lawsuit to be brought by the surviving relatives of a person who died as a result of a wrongful death. These laws vary from state to state. For example, in some states only a spouse and children are allowed to file a wrongful death action, while in other states other relatives may also file an action.  It is very important the surviving family members retain an experienced Coral Springs wrongful death lawyer to help them evaluate the situation and file the claim correctly.

Wrongful deaths occur in a number of different ways, such as:

• Negligence
• Car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents and boating accidents
• Defective products
• An intentional act such as a deliberate murder or an attack
• Medical malpractice
• Workplace accidents
• Dog bites
• Slip and Fall accidents

While no amount of money recovered can make the pain of loss disappear, the money recovered can help to ease the burden on surviving family members dealing with such a tragedy.  The last thing that grieving family members should be forced to do after losing someone close to them is to bring this type of claim on their own.  Our personal injury attorneys blend aggressive legal counsel with compassion to help our clients get through their loss while obtaining the compensation they deserve.
