What Compensation Covers in Wrongful Death Cases
A wrongful death not only takes an emotional toll but often leaves families facing significant financial burdens. In many cases, the deceased party was a primary source of income and support, adding to the stress and uncertainty.
Depending on the details of your case, damages may include:
Medical Expenses
Any medical bills incurred before your loved one's passing.
Funeral Costs
Expenses associated with honoring your loved one.
Lost Income
The financial contribution your loved one provided to your household.
Loss of Companionship
The void left in your life due to your loved one's absence.
Mental Pain and Suffering
Florida law allows this for certain survivors, such as a spouse, minor children, and the parents of a minor child.
Ricky Dayaram Law, LLC takes the legal work off your hands while you grieve. Attorney Ricky Dayaram reviews the facts, identifies every source of compensation, and pursues each of them.
The Process of Filing a Wrongful Death Claim
Filing a wrongful death claim while grieving is hard. In Florida the claim is filed by the personal representative of the estate for the survivors, and it must be filed within two years of the death. This is what the process looks like when we handle it:
