According to the United State Census and the Florida Department of Motor Vehicle Safety, from the years 1990 through 2010, there have been over 2,400 fatalities per year as a result of automobile accidents. When an automobile accident results in fatalities, Florida’s Wrongful Death Act will apply and the help of an Accident Attorney is essential.
Intent of the Florida Wrongful Death Law
It is the intent of Florida law to place the burden of the losses from the surviving family members, to the wrongdoer and those parties that are responsible for the loss. This means that Florida law allows the victims family members and survivors to pursue claims to recover damages, lost earnings, funeral expenses, as well as other monetary rewards from the responsible party. When a loved one passes as a result of the negligence of another, Florida law gives what is called the `Right of Action’, to bring a claim against the parties responsible for the death of their loved one.
Who is a ‘Survivor’?
In Florida, a survivor is any spouse, child, or parent of the victim. Survivors can also include any blood relatives or adoptive brothers or sisters of the victim that were partially or wholly dependent upon the victim at the time of passing.
Who Can Pursue a Claim After a Fatal Car Accident?

The personal representative will be in charge of the estate and will bring the claim on behalf of the survivors and the estate.We can also assist in setting up the estate so you don’t have to worry about setting up the wrongful death claim in Florida.

Loss of support. As a survivor, your loved one may have supported you financially. Whether the support was partial or whole, you have the right to recover the amount that person would have contributed to you from the date of injury to the date of death.
