Wrongful Death

Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees, to deprive the poor of their rights and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people, making widows their prey and robbing the fatherless. Isaiah 10-1

Defend the causes of the weak and the fatherless: maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed. Psalm 82: 3-4

Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the right of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy. Proverbs 31:8-9

Up front and honestly, there is nothing within the law that fully and completely compensate for the untimely loss of a loved one.  We cannot bring back those lost opportunities, the last chance to say “I Love You,” that last words you hoped to exchange together.

Instead, “wrongful death” in the legal context represents an opportunity to stabilize and secure your financial future -- the financial future you would have likely had, but for the Florida wrongful death caused by another’s negligence.

Wrongful Death Attorney

A wrongful death lawsuit is often difficult because of the intense emotions involved.  Attempting to place a value on someone’s life -- their future -- seems surreal.  Compensation for wrongful death has its roots in The Bible, and it was not much easier to measure then, than it is now.

A family’s strength in coming together is certainly the most important part of the healing and grieving process.  Financial insecurity and uncertainty caused by wrongful death is another family factor which must be addressed.  As a wrongful death attorney, I help families survive the tough financial picture in light of the wrongful death and lost income and mounting bills.
