If you have recently lost a loved one, first I must say that I am terribly sorry for your loss.  I know that the pain, anguish, grief, and despair can be almost too much to bear.  This pain is often significantly heightened, and coupled with a lot of anger, if another person or company caused the death of your loved one.  The untimely death of a cherished person is the ultimate tragedy that any family can face.  And death caused by someone else is always untimely, regardless of the age of the person who died.  Unfortunately, as an Orlando wrongful death attorney, the only thing I can do is try to help with the financial burdens that often come along with the extreme grief.

Please note that we accept wrongful death cases from anywhere in Florida.

What Are The Available Damages In A Florida Wrongful Death Lawsuit?

Wrongful death lawsuits can lead to recovery for the survivor’s pain and suffering, as well as lost net accumulations, and lost earnings (for example, anticipated lost wages for the remainder of the life expectancy for the person who died).

Pain and suffering is usually the highest value category of damages, yet impossible to quantify.  One important thing to know is that the closeness of the relationship between the survivors, and the deceased, can have a big impact on the value of a wrongful death case.

Read more about the available damages in a Florida wrongful death lawsuit.

What Is The Average Value Of A Florida Wrongful Death Case?

The average case value for all reported Florida wrongful death cases is 1.2 million. 

Values are lower when fault is not clear, the relationships between the deceased and the survivors was not strong, or the available insurance coverage is too low. 

Values are higher when there is strong evidence that the defendant’s fault is clear (such as a rear-end accident), there are multiple survivors as defined by the wrongful death statute, there is good evidence that the relationships were very close, and there is sufficient insurance to cover the higher amounts.

Many factors can cause a significant variation in the potential value of a Florida wrongful death case.

For example, if there are more survivors, then the case value could increase by the number of survivors.  That’s because each survivor may have his or her own right to recovery.

If the defendant has very little insurance coverage, which happens very often in individual car accident cases, then the recovery may be limited to the value of that insurance policy.  So, any given case could have a range in value from zero (no insurance coverage) to several million.  But a case worth several million would require extremely compelling facts, multiple survivors under Florida’s wrongful death statute, good evidence of strong relationships between the deceased and survivors, good evidence of the defendant’s guilt, and plenty of insurance coverage.

Regardless of case facts, the maximum we can recover is often the amount of any insurance policies (unless there is a large corporation (business) or very wealthy individual defendant).

On the other hand, the case value may only be limited by what we can prove.  For example, if the defendant is a large corporation, then they have plenty of assets and / or insurance to cover all available damages.  This might be true in a negligent security (dangerous property) or medical malpractice wrongful death case, for example.  In those cases, the case value depends on the strength of the evidence regarding the defendant’s fault, the number of survivors, and the available evidence of the closeness of the relationship between each survivor, and the deceased.

Read more about the value of a wrongful death case.

Beyond the available insurance, many other factors can change the wrongful death case value, such as good or bad evidence for either side.

Who Can Sue For Florida Wrongful Death Damages?

Who Can Sue For Florida Wrongful DeathOnly certain family members are able to sue for wrongful death damages.  WHO can sue varies, depending on whether the wrongful death was caused by medical malpractice, or something else, like an auto accident.

In Non-Medical Malpractice Wrongful Death Cases

If the death was caused by anything other than medical malpractice, there is a broader scope for which family members can sue.  So, if the death was caused by anything other than medical malpractice, we strongly consider cases from surviving spouses, children (any age), and parents (of any age child, as long as there was no surviving spouse or children).

In Medical Malpractice Wrongful Death Cases

WHICH SURVIVORS can sue is very different between medical malpractice, and non-medical malpractice, wrongful death cases.

If the death was caused by medical malpractice, we only consider cases by the surviving spouse, or children who were under 25 when their parent died, or parents of children who were under 25 when they died, with very limited exceptions.  Usually, we will not accept a med mal wrongful death case unless we receive a phone call from either the surviving spouse, parent to a minor child who died, or children (under 25 when the death occurred)) of someone who died.

Read more about who can sue for Florida wrongful death damages.

You can also read which survivors may recover under the actual Florida wrongful death statute here.

If you are confused, but lost a loved one due to a situation that you feel might have been negligent (aka wrongful death), please give us a call.  We are Orlando wrongful death lawyers who may be able to help parents (if no surviving spouse or children), children, or surviving spouses from negligent / wrongful death by anything other than medical malpractice.  If med mal was involved, then we usually only consider cases from parents of children under 25 who died, surviving spouses, or children who were under 25 when their parents died.

What Types Of Cases Might Lead To A Florida Wrongful Death Lawsuit? (Filed By An Orlando Wrongful Death Attorney)

Most Common Types of Florida Wrongful Death LawsuitsMany different types of accidents could lead to a successful wrongful death lawsuit.  But some do not.  As Orlando wrongful death lawyers, our first job is to help our potential clients decide whether they have a potential case worth pursuing.  We have trained our telephone staff to recognize which cases might lead to a successful case.  If you might have one, then we will have a highly experienced Florida wrongful death lawyer speak with you very quickly, to evaluate your case in depth.

Wrongful Death Cases Might Arise From Any Auto Accident

In general, successful wrongful death cases may arise from ANY automobile accident.

However, not all automobile accidents involve the same amount of auto insurance coverage, which is usually how our clients get monetary recovery.  So, for example, if one person has one million dollars in auto insurance coverage, but another has only $10,000, and that person causes the death of another person, those insurance coverage limits usually make a big difference in the outcome.  That means that some accidental death cases lead to a higher recovery than others, regardless of how bad the negligence was.

Some cases that can lead to the highest values (assuming there was negligence on the part of the other driver) are semi-truck accident cases, commercial vehicle accident cases, ride share accidents (i.e., Uber & Lyft), construction accidents, commercial (not city) bus accidents, and the like.

Wrongful Death Cases Might Arise From Construction Accidents

Construction companies are often required to comply with strict safety guidelines, both during road construction, and off road construction.  If your loved one died in the middle of any construction zone, then you definitely might have a viable Florida wrongful death case.

Wrongful Death Cases Might Arise From Negligent Security

Successful Florida wrongful death cases might have also been caused by negligent security or dangerous property.  For example, if your loved one was shot or stabbed by an unknown or known assailant in a restaurant parking lot, then the restaurant MIGHT be responsible.  That depends on how good or bad the restaurant security was, and whether there is a lot of crime in the area.

Wrongful Death Cases Might Arise From Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice may also cause wrongful death.  However, unfortunately, we also have to reject a large number of medical malpractice cases.  The reason is that we need clear evidence that the doctor or medical provider caused the death, through negligence.  That might happen if the death happened under suspicious circumstances (for example, the person underwent a routine surgery, but died, or died way too young when not suffering from any terminal illness).  That might also happen if there was a misdiagnosis of cancer, heart attack, stroke, or any terminal illness.

Wrongful Death Cases Might Arise From Dangerous Products or Drugs

Any product on the market could cause someone’s death.  For example, if an air bag did not deploy, then the air bag manufacturer might be responsible.  Or a dangerous drug could lead to someone’s death.  There are countless examples of products that cause or contribute to death.  If you think a defective product killed your loved one, please give us a call to learn more.

Wrongful Death From Other Causes Or Accidents

Wrongful death can be caused by countless accidents or unexpected dangers.  For example, someone might have been attacked by an alligator.  Or a deadly snake.  If any accident was caused by the negligence of any business, or any individual with insurance or significant assets, then we may be able to help.  So, if YOU think negligence might have caused your loved one’s death, please give us a call or send us a text.

What Is The Statute Of Limitations for Florida Wrongful Death Lawsuits?

The state of limitations for wrongful death cases is two years, from the date of death, or from the date of discovery of the negligence.  There is a tremendous amount of complicated Florida case law expanding on the concept of the “date of discovery.”

Most of the time, we will not accept a case unless their loved one died less than about 1 year and 11 months from the date someone called us.

But there are exceptions, and all law firms are different.  We just need time to investigate the facts before filing any lawsuit.  There may be other law firms that would accept cases far beyond the statute of limitations.  We might also accept a case beyond the statute of limitations, but only if there is a VERY STRONG argument that the survivors could not have discovered the negligence earlier.

Additionally, the sooner we get started on ANY wrongful death case, usually the better.  Critical evidence can start disappearing very quickly. This might include witness statements, physical evidence (like black boxes in vehicles, defective products, landscape if death caused on dangerous property, etc.), documentary evidence (like cell phone records), and the like.

So you absolutely SHOULD NOT think of the statute of limitations as your deadline for calling a Florida wrongful death lawyer.

We cannot more strongly emphasize the critical need to call us immediately, if you think you might have a viable Florida wrongful death case.  Waiting to call absolutely could destroy the case value 100%.  The plaintiff has the burden of proving his or her case. This is a heavy burden. So we need to start collecting evidence ASAP, before it’s gone.

Read more about the statute of limitations in Florida wrongful death cases.

How Long Does A Wrongful Death Lawsuit Last?

Wrongful death cases can vary in length from 30 days, to a few months, to many years.  There are a lot of factors that determine how long any individual case might take.

We try very hard to resolve wrongful death cases as quickly as possible.  We know that our wrongful death clients often need financial support to survive, particularly if their lost loved one helped them with financial support.

In cases where the defendant’s fault is very clear, sometimes we are able to gather enough evidence to prove the negligence, and get the case resolved, within 30-90 days.

Other cases may require us to file a lawsuit and get on the trial court’s calendar for a trial.  Trials are usually scheduled about 18 months after we file the lawsuit (and often we can’t file the lawsuit for several months, because we need to investigate, and collect evidence).  Most cases involving litigation are resolved within 18 months of filing a lawsuit. However, there are exceptions, and we can’t always control those.

For example, during the pre-trial phase of the case, the defendant might be involved in a pending criminal case.  This sometimes happens in drunk driving cases.  If that happens, the defendant can repeatedly request to “stay” (put on hold) the civil case, to protect their rights in the criminal case.  Or a critical expert might have scheduling conflicts, which cause delays.

If we are involved in litigation, we do everything possible to fight and minimize any delay requests from opposing counsel.

On average, most wrongful death cases are settled between 90 days after our client hires us, and 18 months.  We can give you a better idea of the likely time-frame in your case, after you hire us, and we’ve done our preliminary investigation (which usually takes about 30 days).

What Happens During A Wrongful Death Lawsuit?

3 phases orlando wrongful death lawsuitWrongful death lawsuits can be extremely complex or very simple.

The basic stages of any wrongful death case are (1) pre-suit (before filing any lawsuit), (2) pre-trial (after filing the lawsuit, but before any trial, and (3) trial (this is when a jury decides the value of the case).  Many cases are settled during pre-suit, and many more are settled during pre-trial.  Only about 2% of wrongful death cases actually lead to a trial with a jury.

Florida Wrongful Death Pre-Suit Process

During pre-suit, as wrongful death lawyers, we thoroughly research any possible at-fault parties (sometimes this involves a series of entities, like a seller, manufacturer, employer, builder, etc).  Then we thoroughly research any available assets or insurance.  We also notify all parties and their insurance companies that we are representing the survivor.  We may or may not also send a letter demanding that they preserve any evidence. This can lead to critical evidence discovery in the case.

If we think the possibility of settlement pre-suit is high, then we will prepare a demand package, to send to all relevant parties.  Our demand package would detail how the accident happened, what law applies, and details about the pain and suffering of our client, after losing their loved one.

If we think that a pre-suit demand letter wouldn’t help, then we will file a lawsuit as soon as we think we have enough evidence to get started.

Florida Wrongful Death Pre-Trial Process

During pre-trial, we are allowed to ask the defendants, through their lawyers, for a lot of evidence that might help your case.  This includes requests for documents, requests to answer written questions (these are called “interrogatories,”) and depositions.  Depositions are when we get to ask the defendant verbal (live) questions, in the presence of a court-reporter.  Much of this evidence would be admissible, if we went to trial.

The defendant’s lawyer will also take our client’s deposition, and possibly the deposition of witnesses friendly to our client’s position.  Anytime our clients have depositions, we thoroughly prepare our clients for their depositions, explaining likely “tricky” questions, as well as any problematic areas of evidence, and how best to respond to the questions.

We also might file motions demanding that the defense attorneys produce evidence, if they objected to producing something that we believed was critical to proving your wrongful death case.  Or we might file motions to have the court rule in advance on the admissibility, at trial, of any evidence that we think would be extremely helpful, or harmful.

Similarly, the defense can file all sorts of motions (some of which can delay the case), and we respond to those.

Once both sides have collected most of the evidence in the case, there is usually something called a mediation.  90% of wrongful death cases are settled before, during, or shortly after mediation.  Mediation is where both parties attend a meeting, with a neutral third party guiding the process (that is, the mediator).  Often the mediator is someone with years of experience as a trial lawyer, who tries to get both sides to understand the strengths and weaknesses of their cases.  The goal during a mediation is to settle the case.

If the case doesn’t settle during mediation, we still have options to get the case settled before trial.  This might include filing additional motions to establish that the court isn’t going to admit any evidence the defendant wants to use.  Or we might take additional expert depositions, such as the depositions of doctors during a medical malpractice lawsuit, security experts during a dangerous property / negligence security case, or crash reconstruction experts, during an auto accident wrongful death case.

Florida Wrongful Death Trial

If we are unable to settle the case pre-trial, then we go to a trial in front of jurors.  Those jurors come from all walks of life, and can decide the case any way they want.  We have a lot of techniques for handling the trial phase of the case, which go way beyond the scope of this article.  But trial is when we present all of the evidence that we have collected on your behalf.  We make a gigantic effort to tell the jury a story that will make them feel compassion for your situation.  Or anger at the defendant.  Or both.

The defense lawyers also get to present the evidence that they think helps their client.

There are many complex rules of evidence, which determine what is admissible in court, and what isn’t.  Some of the rules aren’t clear. So the lawyers from both sides make their arguments about evidence.  Then the judge decides what the jury can and can’t hear.

Once the jury has heard all of the evidence, they render their verdict, which is usually a dollar amount, and the percentage of fault they attribute to each party.

What Types Of Accidents Might Lead An Orlando Wrongful Death Lawyer To File A Wrongful Death Lawsuit?

There are many different types of wrongful death lawsuits that can be extremely successful.  As Orlando wrongful death lawyers, we consider the most typical wrongful death cases to be car or trucking accidents, such as semi-truck accidents, shooting death lawsuits (which is called negligent security, or premises liability), medical malpractice (where a medical provider caused death through negligence), and products liability (where a defective product caused death).  Each one of those wrongful death cases has very different elements that must be proven. That means we need evidence to prove that whoever killed your loved one was to blame.  We have many different ways to gather that evidence, which we will explain in detail when you call us.

    Important Disclaimers

    This information on this page is designed to give you a general idea of wrongful death law in Florida. However, the law frequently changes and is subject to countless numbers of exceptions, exclusions, and variations, which only a lawyer can evaluate. Additionally, although we made every effort to provide accurate information on this website, we did not give preparation of the material on this website the same level of attention and scrutiny that we would give to a potential client’s or client’s case. So you should not rely on anything on this page but rather should speak with one of our attorneys to confirm that the information is accurate, the law has not changed and to better determine how the law applies to your particular case.

    Nothing on this website is intended to constitute or serve as a substitute for legal advice. You should not rely on anything you read here without seeking legal counsel. Nothing provided on this site will create an attorney-client relationship with Tina M. Willis, Esq. or Tina Willis Law. The information provided on this site may not always be current. No representation is made that the quality of this firm’s legal work is better than the quality of the legal work of other lawyers.

    My office is located in Orlando, Florida. However, I am a licensed attorney in the states of Florida & Georgia, so I can accept wrongful death cases from either of those states, and I give all cases the same level of careful attention regardless of where they are located.

    What if you are located in another state?

    Attorneys cannot handle cases out of the states where they are licensed without joining co-counsel from the other state. However, this can often be easily done and does not cost you any more money. If you are from another state, then I might also be able to help you find an attorney from your state through my attorney contacts all over the U.S., and still stay involved in an oversight or co-counsel capacity.
