Wrongful Death Liability

Determining who may be held liable in a wrongful death claim is sometimes more complicated that it may first appear.

For example, in the event of a Florida semi truck crash, was it the truck driver's negligence alone, or was there an equipment malfunction which led to the accident?  Is the trucking company liable or was the tire manufacturer also to blame?  Under Florida law, there may be accident negligence liability as a product liability claim under these circumstances.

Similarly, did the serious car accident alone cause the loved one to die, or was there subsequent medical malpractice at the hospital where the car crash victim was taken after the incident?

Under Florida law, generally the party who caused the crash in this scenario would be liable for all the damages -- the wrongful death -- even there the crash was survivable and the family member died because of subsequent medical malpractice.

Investigating the claim and determining who is liable is a critical step in any wrongful death claim.  Sometimes the answer is obvious, and others it requires an experienced wrongful death attorney to unravel for answers.

Because the family is understandably grief-stricken and seeking answers from law enforcement, their attorney, and drawing upon their faith, prompt action is needed to help move the matter toward resolution.

Financial Compensation Is Clearly a Poor Substitute

Based on The Bible, our laws attempt compensate the ultimate loss by awarding monetary damages. In many cases, the amount of damages -- regardless of amount -- will never be sufficient.  The damages may, however, be able to provide financial security for your family.

There really is no substitution for the loss of a loved one. The court system offers accountability, and potentially the answer to sought-after questions, as well as possible financial security for the survivors.
