This information is provided to help those who have lost a loved one because of another person or company’s reckless or negligent behavior. With over 30 years of service in South Florida, our attorneys have successfully represented many clients involved in wrongful death cases and we remain committed to helping the survivors of those who died achieve justice and financial compensation. If your loved one has died through another's carelessness or irresponsibility, you may be entitled to receive monetary compensation in the form of "damages" to cover medical expenses, lost income (current and future), and emotional and physical pain. As a Rosen and Rosen client, you will receive professional and aggressive representation that enables you to focus on the recovery process while we focus on justice and protecting your rights.

The majority of wrongful death suits involve vehicular accidents (automobile, ATV, motorcycle, tractor trailer, snowmobile, etc). Other types of wrongful death claims include public carriers (railroads, planes, buses and maritime disasters), defective products, medical malpractice, and pharmaceutical liability. Negligence is the common element in most wrongful death actions and an individual is generally negligent if their act or failure to act is unreasonable and results in another’s injury or death. Negligence can be the result of lack of attention, thoughtlessness, inadvertence, and mistakes.

Damages are awarded when negligence has been proven according to a specific set of laws. In addition to establishing negligence, joint life expectancy of the deceased and the survivor or beneficiary is presented (to establish the loss of future earnings) and the relationship of the survivor and deceased must also be shown before a damage award is made. Finally, effective presentation of the non-economical or emotional loss suffered by the survivor is critical to a successful award of damages.

Wrongful deaths cases are complicated to prove, and only a practiced attorney can effectively demonstrate negligence to recover fair compensation for the victim's family. As a Rosen and Rosen client, you will benefit from our attorney's analysis of your claim that results in a well developed case. Throughout the legal process, your lawyer will work with you to help you understand the strategies and possible outcomes so that you can make informed decisions. We will be your representative to insurances companies and others involved in your claim to ensure that you receive a fair and just compensation.

If you feel that you have the basis for a wrongful death suit, please contact Rosen and Rosen today. We can discuss your situation and explain the issues and laws surrounding wrongful death claims, negotiation and litigation. At Rosen and Rosen, we will provide you with a free consultation and will work on a contingency fee basis to ensure that we receive a fee only if you receive monetary compensation.
