What Is A “Wrongful Death” Lawsuit?

MIAMI - Nov. 18, 2013 - PRLog -- If a loved one has died as a result of deliberate or negligent actions taken by another person or company, his or her family or beneficiaries have the right to file a wrongful death suit against the party or parties responsible. This type of lawsuit is different and completely separate from any criminal charges the responsible party may face. Typically, immediate family members, financial dependents, and other persons who suffer financially as a result of the wrongful death may be eligible to sue.

In the state of Florida, the statute of limitations for filing a wrongful death lawsuit is just two years, making it very important that you find an experienced wrongful death lawyer in Miami as quickly as possible after the tragedy.

Who Can Be Sued?

A wrongful death suit can be brought against an individual person, a group of people, a company, or even a government agent in some situations. For example, if your loved one died in a car accident as a result of vehicle manufacturer error, you may be able to seek compensation from that manufacturer. If death occurred as a result of drunk driving after a night out at the bar, the bartender and the bar itself may be held liable.

As the details vary greatly from case to case, it is a good idea to discuss your claim with a wrongful death lawyer in Miami (http://www.friedmantriallawyers.com/) from Friedman & Friedman to determine your next steps.
