Understanding Wrongful Death Claims
Under the law, a wrongful death occurs when someone’s negligent, reckless, or intentional actions result in the loss of another person’s life. While some wrongful death cases stem from criminal conduct such as homicide, many arise from preventable accidents—incidents where proper care could have avoided the tragedy.
At Clause Law Group, we help families in Florida and Pennsylvania navigate the legal process after the death of a loved one. While no lawsuit can bring a loved one back, a wrongful death claim can provide much-needed financial stability and help deliver justice.
Common Causes of Wrongful Death
Wrongful deaths can happen in nearly any setting. Some of the most frequent causes include:
- Car, truck, or motorcycle accidents
- Pedestrian or bicycle accidents
- Medical malpractice
- Workplace accidents
- Defective products
- Nursing home abuse or neglect
- Dangerous property conditions
- Inadequate security leading to violent crime
- Police misconduct or excessive force
- Exposure to toxic substances (like asbestos)
If your loved one’s death was preventable, you may have legal grounds to bring a claim for compensation.
Who Can File a Wrongful Death Lawsuit?
In both Florida and Pennsylvania, the personal representative of the deceased’s estate typically files the wrongful death claim on behalf of the surviving family members. Those who may benefit from the lawsuit can include:
- Spouse
- Children
- Parents
- Other financially dependent family members
Each state has specific rules and deadlines (statutes of limitations) for filing these claims, so it’s important to consult with a wrongful death attorney as soon as possible.
What Damages Can Be Recovered?
A wrongful death claim can help families recover compensation for:
- Medical expenses incurred before death
- Funeral and burial costs
- Loss of income and future earnings
- Loss of companionship and emotional support
- Pain and suffering (where applicable)
- Punitive damages in cases of egregious misconduct
Our attorneys carefully evaluate each case to pursue the full amount of damages your family may be entitled to under the law.
