Wrongful Death FAQs

Wrongful Death

What if my spouse or child died at work and his or her employer has already paid us the workers' compensation settlement? Can we still make a claim?

Many times, a work-related injury or death was caused by a defective product or piece of equipment. In those circumstances, you can pursue a claim against the manufacturer of the product or equipment.

What if my son or daughter is an adult and lives outside of my home - may I still bring a claim?

If your son or daughter was not married and had no children of their own, then under The Florida Wrongful Death Act, you are entitled to damages.
