WRONGFUL DEATH FAQs

  • What is wrongful death?  Wrongful death is when a person dies due to the negligence or misconduct of another individual, company, or entity.
  • I have recently suffered the loss of a loved one.  How do I know if I have a claim for wrongful death?  Not every accidental death correlates to a wrongful death claim, but any questions about the facts surrounding the incident should be presented to an experienced attorney for a complete investigation.  Once the initial devastation of your loss subsides, you and your family may have questions such as these:
               - Did a manufacturer produce a car that was accident prone?
               - Did a reckless driver cause the truck accident?
               - Did the people in charge of safety do their job at the construction site?

At The Law Offices of Reese Harvey we answer all your questions, conduct the appropriate investigation and provide assistance with compassion and sympathy during this troubling time.  We are a boutique law firm that will give you and your family the personal attention you deserve.

  • Who can file a wrongful death claim?  Under Florida law, spouses, parents or dependent children and any other blood relatives and adoptive brothers and sisters when they are partially or wholly dependent on the decendent for support or services, can recover damages for:
               - Medical expenses and funeral expenses
               - Loss of benefits and net accumulations of the estate
               - Projected earnings based on life expectancy of the deceased
               - Mental pain and suffering of survivors
               - Household contributions (chores, parenting duties)
               - The surviving child's loss of companionship, instruction and guidance
               - The surviving spouse's loss of companionship, consortium, and comfort
               - Punitive damages in certain circumstances of intentional or reckless acts

At The Law Offices of Reese Harvey, we work closely with you and your family members to understand the role that your loved one played in your daily lives and how their death has adversely changed your lives.  We incorporate this knowledge into litigation through day-in-the-life videos, testimonials, and other methods to bring the point home to insurance adjusters or a jury to maximize your recovery so you can begin to piece your life back together.

  • How is the money recovered from my case dispersed among family members?  An Estate has to be opened.  Based on the relationship with your loved one, Florida laws determine the amount of money different family members may receive from the damages won in the lawsuit.
