Justice for Your Loved One. Compassionate Representation—At a Lower Fee.

Losing a loved one is devastating. When that loss is caused by someone else’s negligence, it’s more than a tragedy—it’s a legal wrong.

At Discount Injury & Accident Attorneys, we represent families across Florida who have lost a parent, spouse, or child due to the careless or reckless acts of others. We handle wrongful death claims with the compassion you deserve—and the experience you need.

And unlike many law firms, we do it while charging less than the standard contingency fee. That means more of any compensation recovered stays with your family—where it belongs.

What Is a Wrongful Death Claim in Florida?

Under Florida Statutes § 768.16–768.26, a wrongful death occurs when a person dies due to the negligence, default, or wrongful act of another individual, company, or entity. Common causes include:

• Auto accidents
• Motorcycle and truck accidents
• Slip and fall injuries
• Medical malpractice
• Nursing home abuse or neglect
• Defective products
• Workplace accidents

If the decedent would have had a personal injury claim had they survived, their family may now pursue a wrongful death lawsuit.

Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim in Florida?

Florida law requires that the claim be filed by the personal representative (executor) of the deceased’s estate, often named in their will. If there’s no will, the court may appoint someone.

The lawsuit may seek compensation on behalf of:

• The spouse
• Children (minor or adult, depending on the situation)
• Parents of the deceased
• Other financial dependents or relatives

We can guide you through the probate and filing process, and work with the estate to protect your family’s rights.

What Damages Are Available in a Florida Wrongful Death Case?

Every case is different, but eligible surviving family members may be entitled to compensation for:

Economic Damages:

• Loss of the deceased’s income and future earning capacity
• Loss of services and support
• Funeral and burial expenses
• Medical bills incurred before death

Non-Economic Damages:

• Mental pain and suffering
• Loss of companionship and protection
• Loss of parental guidance
• Emotional distress

At Discount Injury & Accident Attorneys, we work to recover the maximum compensation available—and we charge less, so your family keeps more.
