Hollywood Wrongful Death Lawyer

Our Hollywood Attorneys Develop Compelling Wrongful Death Cases for Clients

Every case we handle is different. We provide personalized support and guidance throughout the legal process, ensuring you find the comfort and confidence you need during this difficult time. You can count on our Hollywood wrongful death lawyers to present a strong argument to bolster your chances of fair compensation.

Who Can File a Florida Wrongful Death Lawsuit?

Florida law limits who can file a wrongful death lawsuit. Identifying the party who can manage this process for your family is sometimes the first hurdle. Under Florida Statutes § 768.20, only the victim’s personal representative can act as the plaintiff in the lawsuit, but family members who sustained losses can still recover compensation through that suit.

A personal representative is the executor of the will or administrator of the estate. They are the party the courts recognize as acting on behalf of the victim. This is often, though not always, a spouse, adult child, or parent. Rosenberg & Rosenberg can work with this representative and your entire family to pursue fair damages.

What Do Our Wrongful Death Attorneys Need to Prove?

To recover compensation in a Hollywood wrongful death case, it is necessary to show: 

• The accused party acted carelessly or recklessly
• Their actions or inaction caused your loved one’s injuries
• Your loved one died from their injuries or complications
• Your family suffered expenses and losses as a result

We can find evidence that proves each of these four points.

What Evidence Is Available in Hollywood Wrongful Death Cases?

The evidence available in your case will depend greatly on the type of accident, the circumstances, and other unique features. Our Hollywood attorneys have access to resources, such as medical experts and accident reconstruction specialists, to support your case. In addition, we often preserve and analyze evidence, such as:

• Official reports, like the Hollywood Police Department’s accident reports for fatal crashes or the Broward County Medical Examiner’s report
• Video of the incident
• A survey of the scene where the injuries occurred
• Your loved one’s relevant medical records from whichever facility (e.g., Memorial Regional Hospital) they were taken to for treatment
• Eyewitness interviews
• Expert testimony or data
• Documentation of damages

What Damages Can Our Hollywood Wrongful Death Attorneys Recover for Your Family?

When our attorneys recover compensation in a Hollywood, FL, wrongful death case, the immediate family members are the beneficiaries. This is usually a spouse, a spouse and children, children alone, parents, or other family members. It depends greatly on the victim’s family situation and which family members depended on them for financial support, if applicable.

Under Florida Statutes § 768.21, there are specific damages recoverable by each of these parties. For example, a surviving spouse can recover money for the loss of companionship, while children can receive compensation for their “loss of parental companionship, instruction, and guidance.” Other recoverable damages could include: 

• Medical care costs incurred before their death
• Funeral and burial expenses
• Income losses
• Loss of other benefits
• Loss of services
• Pain and suffering of the victim before their death
• The survivors’ emotional pain and suffering due to their loss

Securing the Wrongful Death Damages You Deserve

No matter how much pain your family is in, the insurance company may still try to deny you the money you need to rebuild your lives. This is where our legal team can step in.

Rosenberg & Rosenberg can help you list all your losses and find enough evidence to prove that you are entitled to every penny you have asked for. We can even negotiate with the insurer or, if necessary, take your case all the way to trial to advocate for you.

When Can You File a Wrongful Death Legal Action?

We pursue wrongful death claims in cases where the victim would have had a viable personal injury claim had they survived their injuries. This generally means that their accident and injuries occurred due to another party’s negligence, carelessness, or recklessness. If any of the following types of accidents or incidents caused your loved one’s fatal injuries, Rosenberg & Rosenberg wants to help you:

• Bicycle collisions
• Boating accidents
• Car crashes
• Construction accidents
• Cruise ship injuries
• Dog bite incidents
• Scooter crashes
• Motorcycle collisions
• Pedestrian accidents
• Premises liability incidents
• Fall injuries
• Truck accidents

How Long Can You Wait to Call Our Hollywood Wrongful Death Lawyers?

Florida Statutes § 95.11 generally gives families two years from their loved one’s death to file a wrongful death lawsuit. However, you should not wait until this date approaches to act.

Our wrongful death law firm can build a stronger case when we know about the accident and death right after they occur, as that is when evidence is easiest to access. We can also take over all communication with the insurance companies as soon as you hire us, preventing them from taking advantage of your grief.
