Frequently Asked Questions About
Wrongful Death in Florida

Who can file a wrongful death claim in Florida?

In Florida, the personal representative of the deceased’s estate files the claim on behalf of surviving family members such as spouses, children, or parents.

Florida law generally gives families two years from the date of death to file a wrongful death claim. However, each case is unique and you should contact Von Roenn Law to verify the applicable time frame to file your claim.

Families may recover compensation for funeral expenses, medical bills, lost income, loss of companionship, and emotional suffering.

If negligence, recklessness, or intentional harm caused the death, you may have a wrongful death claim. We’ll review your case and explain your legal options.

A wrongful death claim is separate from any criminal case. Even if there’s no criminal conviction, you can still pursue compensation in civil court.

There are no upfront fees. We work on a contingency basis, meaning we only get paid if we win your case.

Timelines vary based on the complexity of the case, the number of parties involved, and whether the case goes to trial. We work efficiently while protecting your family’s best interests.
