What Is a Wrongful Death Claim in Florida?
Under Florida law, a wrongful death occurs when a person’s death is caused by:
- The wrongful act
- Negligence
- Default
- Breach of contract or warranty
If your loved one would have had the right to file a personal injury lawsuit had they survived, you may have the right to pursue a wrongful death claim on their behalf.
Wrongful death claims are governed by Florida’s Wrongful Death Act (Florida Statutes §§ 768.16–768.26).

Who Can File a Wrongful Death Lawsuit?
In Florida, a wrongful death claim must be filed by the personal representative of the deceased person’s estate.
The personal representative brings the claim for the benefit of the deceased's:
- Spouse
- Children
- Parents
- Any blood relatives or adoptive siblings who were partly or wholly dependent on the deceased for support or services
We work closely with families and estate representatives to ensure the process is handled respectfully and properly.
What Damages Are Available in a Florida Wrongful Death Case?
Surviving family members may be entitled to compensation for:
- Loss of support and services (both past and future)
- Loss of companionship, protection, and guidance
- Mental pain and suffering
- Medical and funeral expenses paid by survivors
- Loss of the deceased’s income and benefits
- Funeral and burial expenses
The deceased’s estate may also recover damages for:
- Lost earnings from the date of injury to the date of death

FAQs – Orlando Wrongful Death Claims
No. Under Florida law, there is one wrongful death claim, filed by the personal representative, on behalf of all eligible survivors and the estate.
Loss of support, lost future earnings, medical bills, funeral expenses, emotional pain and suffering, and loss of companionship are among the damages recoverable.
Many wrongful death cases settle before trial. However, we prepare every case thoroughly from the start to maximize settlement value — or to proceed to trial if necessary.
Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency basis — and our fees are intentionally structured to be lower than many firms.
