Florida Wrongful Death Lawsuit Attorney

The unexpected and untimely death of a close family member is a major shock to the system. Grief after the loss of a spouse or child can last for years, if not decades.

If, however, you suspect that your loved one's death may have been caused by the careless or reckless actions of another person, we urge you to seek a consultation with an experienced attorney before too much time passes.

As a surviving family member, you may have a right to pursue financial compensation for your loss via a wrongful death lawsuit. A financial payout may be the farthest thing from your mind in the immediate aftermath of the fatal accident, but if you wait longer than two years to seek legal advice you could lose your right to a wrongful death lawsuit altogether.

In Florida, wrongful death lawsuits must be brought within two years of the family member's death.

My name is Bradley S. Hartman. For more than 30 years, I have dedicated my legal career to protecting the rights of injury victims and the surviving family members of fatal accident victims. Through my work as a personal injury and wrongful death attorney, I have represented clients from throughout southeast Florida — fighting always for the maximum allowable compensation for my clients.

I offer free consultations, and I only receive an attorney's fee if I achieve a settlement or jury award on my clients' behalf. Read more information about fees and the process of bringing a wrongful death or personal injury lawsuit.

Basic Information About Wrongful Death Lawsuits

The purpose of a wrongful death lawsuit is to recover financial compensation for the costs associated with the loss of a close family member like a spouse or a child:

• Medical expenses incurred before death
• Funeral expenses
• Loss of family income and future retirement benefits, in the case of a spouse
• Loss of companionship, in the case of a spouse or a child
• Loss of parental guidance, in the case of a parent

Wrongful death lawsuits depend greatly on financial experts. I work closely with economists to determine how much money the deceased would have accumulated and saved over his or her lifetime. I also work with vocational experts to calculate the decedent's likely lifetime earnings.
