Florida Wrongful Death Lawyers

Losing a loved one is always a tragedy that plays a significant mental, emotional, and physical toll. But sudden, unexpected losses are often the most difficult to cope with – such as in the case of a wrongful death. 

Wrongful death means that, unfortunately, your loved one passed due to the mistake or oversight of another person. And in the aftermath of this, the hardest time of your life, it can be tempting to close the door and try to forget. 

But even if you don’t want to go down the lawsuit or litigation route, it’s still in your best interests to speak with a wrongful death attorney and discuss your options. Snedaker Law can give you the advice and support you need to move forward  – whatever that looks like. We stand behind you and any decision you make.

Any direct relative of the deceased is able to file a wrongful death claim. However, their relationship to and dependence on the person can have an impact on the outcome of the case. 

The surviving spouse of the deceased is often the claimant in a wrongful death case. In other cases, it may be on behalf of a parent who lost a minor child or a child who has lost a parent (in which case, they should be compensated for the loss of that emotional and financial guidance). 

In certain cases, adult children who lose parents can also gain compensation from a wrongful death.
