Wrongful Death is the term used when someone causes the death of another person. The death may be caused by the actions of someone or by their failure to act (negligence).
In most, if not all Wrongful Death suits, the family or the estate of the decedent files suit through a designated personal representative in order to recover for family members who have suffered emotionally and monetarily from the death of a loved one.
Lawsuits involving the Wrongful Death are governed by the Florida Wrongful Death Act (F.S., 786, 17-21).
