A Fort Myers wrongful death attorney says that a wrongful death occurs when a person dies in an accident because of another’s negligence. There are a wide variety of wrongful death accidents that can lead to fatal injuries, including: 

• Car accidents
• ATV accidents
• Truck Accidents
• Pedestrian Accidents
• Boating accidents
• Motorcycle accidents
• Slip and fall accidents
• Nursing home neglect
• Defective products 

Wrongful death lawsuit settlements are based on a variety of factors, including the liability involved, the circumstances surrounding the death, the expenses and bills caused by the injury and death, and how the death affects those who are left behind.

Wrongful death cases can be complex, which is why it is important to work with Spivey Law Firm, Personal Injury Attorneys, P.A. whose team includes experienced wrongful death attorneys who have obtained substantial wrongful death settlements in Florida.

“Florida's Wrongful Death Act provides specific considerations for families who have suffered the loss of a loved one due to negligence. This includes the ability for surviving family members to make a legal claim for monetary damages in Florida wrongful death cases for mental pain and suffering, loss of earnings, loss of support and services, and loss of contributions to the household,” said Randall Spivey, Fort Myers wrongful death attorney.

Florida law covers certain wrongful death survivors:

• The spouse, children, and parents of the deceased.
• Biological relatives of the deceased, who depended (at least partially) on the deceased for support.
• Adopted siblings of the deceased, who depended (at least partially) on the deceased for support.
• A child born out of wedlock (though if the deceased was the father, then only if the father was also responsible for support).
