Wrongful Death Attorney in Venice, Florida
Compassionate Legal Support for Families Facing Unimaginable Loss
Few experiences in life are more devastating than the unexpected loss of a loved one—especially when that loss is caused by someone else’s negligence or wrongful actions. In addition to the profound emotional pain, surviving family members are often left facing significant financial hardships, particularly when they were dependent on the deceased for support, companionship, or parental guidance.
At Casella Law Group, we understand the depth of your grief and the challenges you may be facing. While no amount of compensation can ever truly make up for the loss of a family member, Florida law allows eligible survivors to pursue financial recovery for the damages they've suffered. Our Venice-based wrongful death attorneys are here to help you navigate this painful time with skill, sensitivity, and dedication.
Wrongful Death Claims in Florida: What Survivors May Recover
Under Florida law, certain family members may be entitled to recover compensation for both economic and non-economic losses resulting from a wrongful death. These may include:
Lost Support and Services: Compensation for the loss of income, household help, and other contributions the deceased provided.
Loss of Companionship and Protection: For surviving spouses or close relatives who relied on the emotional and protective support of the deceased.
Mental Pain and Suffering: Survivors may be entitled to damages for the emotional toll and psychological anguish caused by the loss.
Lost Parental Companionship, Instruction, and Guidance: Available to surviving children who have lost a parent.
Medical and Funeral Expenses: Reimbursement for expenses paid by surviving family members related to the final care and burial of the deceased.
Each case is unique, and the compensation available will depend on the specific circumstances and relationships involved.
Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim in Florida?
Florida’s Wrongful Death Act allows the personal representative of the deceased’s estate to file a claim on behalf of the surviving family members and beneficiaries. This may include:
Spouse
Children
Parents
Other blood relatives or adoptive siblings who were partly or wholly dependent on the deceased
Our Venice wrongful death attorneys will help determine eligibility and ensure your rights are fully protected under Florida law.
