Miami Wrongful Death Attorney
Helping Families Seek Justice and Stability After Tragic Loss — With Lower Attorney Fees.
Losing a loved one unexpectedly is devastating — emotionally, financially, and legally. When someone’s negligence causes a death, surviving family members have the right to seek accountability and compensation. While no amount of money can replace a loved one, a wrongful death claim can help secure your family’s future.
At Discount Injury & Accident Attorneys, we represent families in wrongful death cases throughout Miami and South Florida — offering compassionate legal guidance and a lower contingency fee structure to protect what matters most.
Free consultation. No fees unless we win. Lower fee options available.
What Is a Wrongful Death Claim Under Florida Law?
A wrongful death occurs when a person dies as a result of another’s:
- Negligence
- Wrongful act
- Default
- Breach of contract or warranty
Florida’s Wrongful Death Act (Fla. Stat. §§ 768.16–768.26) allows certain family members to pursue a claim for damages when someone’s wrongful actions result in a death.

FAQs – Miami Wrongful Death Claims
The personal representative of the deceased’s estate controls the claim, but they must act for the benefit of all eligible survivors.
No. There is only one wrongful death action, filed through the personal representative.
Loss of financial support, loss of companionship, mental pain and suffering, funeral costs, and lost future income are all considered.
There is no upfront cost. We handle wrongful death claims on contingency — and our fees are intentionally structured to be lower than many firms.
