Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim in Florida?

Under Florida law, a wrongful death claim must be filed by the personal representative (executor) of the deceased person’s estate. This individual acts on behalf of both the estate and the surviving family members. Eligible family members who may recover damages include:

The surviving spouse
Children (including minors and dependent adult children)
Parents of a deceased minor or adult child
Any blood relatives or adoptive siblings who were financially dependent on the deceased

If you're unsure who qualifies to bring or benefit from a claim, a knowledgeable wrongful death lawyer from our firm can guide you through your rights and help clarify your family’s next steps.

What Compensation Is Available in a Florida Wrongful Death Claim?

Compensation in a wrongful death case is intended to address both the financial and emotional toll left behind. Florida law allows for two main categories of damages. Damages awarded to surviving family members may include:

Loss of companionship, guidance, and protection
Mental pain and suffering
Lost financial support and services the deceased would have provided
Medical and funeral expenses paid by surviving relatives

Damages awarded to the estate may include:

Lost earnings between the injury and death
Future lost earnings the decedent would have accumulated
Medical and funeral expenses paid by the estate

Every case is different, and valuing these losses requires careful analysis by legal and financial experts. At Schwed, Adams & McGinley, P.A., our wrongful death lawyers partner with economists, life care planners, and vocational specialists to ensure your claim reflects the full extent of your loss.

I appreciated his communication and approach, and I would recommend him to anyone looking for reliable legal representation.
