Who can bring a wrongful death claim?
Typically the personal representative of the estate, on behalf of surviving family members — spouses, children and sometimes parents. The rules differ between Florida, Georgia and New York; we guide you through them with care.
How long do we have to file?
Generally two years from the death in Florida, Georgia and New York — shorter in some circumstances. Grieving families should not rush, but early investigation preserves critical evidence.
What compensation is available?
Depending on the state: funeral expenses, lost financial support and services, medical bills from the final injury, and the family's own losses. No amount replaces a life — but accountability matters.
Will we have to go to trial?
Most wrongful death cases settle, but insurers pay full value only when they know your lawyers will try the case. We prepare every case for the courtroom from day one.
