What to Do in the Event of Wrongful Death
Our experience has unfortunately made us painfully aware of how devastating it can be when a loved one dies due to a tragic negligent or reckless act. Wrongful death refers to the death of a person that is caused by the negligence, recklessness or the careless action of another person. If your loved one has died wrongfully, you may be entitled to compensation. The wrongful death lawyers of the Eltringham Law Group in Boca Raton have over 60 years of combined legal experience and knowledge to help those who have suffered from events caused by a wrongful death.
Florida law provides the Wrongful Death Act which allows spouses, children, parents and other relatives who may have been dependent on the deceased to file a wrongful death claim. The wrongful death attorneys at the Eltringham Law Group will work hard to pursue fair financial recovery for those whom have been affected. It is important to note that there is a two year statute of limitation for filing a wrongful death lawsuit in Florida, beginning at the time of a person’s death. This difficult process requires the supervision and expertise of an experienced Florida wrongful death attorney from the Eltringham Law Group who will walk you through every step of the process.
