Wrongful Death in Florida

If someone's negligence caused a death, Florida law allows certain family members and the estate to pursue a wrongful death claim, though nothing can undo the loss. These claims still involve the state's modified comparative negligence rule with a 50% bar, so if the person who died was partly at fault, that share can reduce recovery, and being found more than 50% at fault bars it. The deadline is generally 2 years from the date of death under Florida law, a limited window during an already painful time. Because these matters are both legally complex and deeply personal, having steady, knowledgeable guidance can ease the burden.
