Common Causes of Wrongful Death
Wrongful death can occur in various situations, often resulting from the negligence or intentional misconduct of others.
Some common causes of wrongful death include:
- Car Accidents: Negligent drivers who cause fatal accidents frequently cause wrongful death cases. This may involve drunk driving, distracted driving, or reckless behavior.
- Medical Malpractice: When healthcare professionals fail to meet the measure of care, it can lead to tragic outcomes. This includes misdiagnosis, surgical errors, or medication mistakes.
- Workplace Accidents: Employees have the right to a secure working environment. Wrongful deaths in the workplace can be due to a lack of safety measures, equipment failure, or employer negligence.
- Product Liability: Defective products can result in fatal accidents. Manufacturers, retailers, or distributors may be liable for producing and selling hazardous items.
- Criminal Acts: Wrongful deaths can also result from criminal actions, such as assault, murder, or even negligent security provided by a property owner.
- Premises Liability: Property owners have a duty to maintain their premises. Fatal slip-and-fall accidents, drowning incidents, or other accidents on another's property may lead to wrongful death claims.

What Damages Can Be Recovered in a Wrongful Death Claim?
In Florida, surviving family members can seek compensation for damages in a wrongful death claim.
Damages that can be recovered include:
- Medical and Funeral Expenses: The costs associated with medical treatment, hospitalization, and funeral arrangements can be significant.
- Loss of Financial Support: The deceased may have been the primary breadwinner for the family. In such cases, surviving family members can seek compensation for losing financial support and future income.
- Loss of Companionship: The emotional loss resulting from the death of a loved one is immeasurable. Compensation may be awarded for losing companionship, guidance, and emotional support.
