Wrongful Death Case Value

Answer:

When we have family members that come in and are grieving the loss of a loved one and they want to seek justice in a case where their loved one was killed as a result of the negligence of another party, this is one of the questions we get. This question is about justice. It’s about justice for seeking the loss of their loved one at the result of the negligence of another party. The way that we determine compensation is we look at all the different factors that are available to us under Florida law. What’s important in being able to arrive at this conclusion is getting an attorney that’s familiar with the ways in which we can determine the value of such type of case.

Florida law is very unique in the sense that it dictates who in terms of which loved one, whether it’s a parent or a mother or a daughter or a brother or sister who was able to actually recover from the loss of a particular relative that has passed away as a result of the negligence of another person. If you are entitled to receive compensation from the loss, we will determine value based on several things. Some of these items are based on the relationships that are had with the loved one, whether the loved one was supporting you in any way, whether they were providing you with any type of assistance, and what type of income they were generating.

There’s also what’s called loss of consortium, which is a fancy way of saying what is the relationship or the loss of that relationship that you had with that person. If it’s a father, maybe you’ve lost the value of the paternal relationship, the things that a father could teach their son, the things that a father could teach their daughter. The loss of a mother, the loss of children, are often devastating. Those losses are determined on the loss of that relationship and the loss of those moments of joy that you experience with a family member. Each of those are unique to the individual who’s experienced those losses.

The way to achieve the most justice for the loss of your loved one in terms of the compensation and trying to reach the right amount is to speak with an attorney who’s handled these types of cases. They can guide you through these intricate details and help you achieve the justice that you deserve.
