Wrongful Death Law
There are many different types of wrongful death lawsuits.

As noted, they can even originate from criminal behavior such as homicide. Compensation can be sought for various financial hardships caused by the death, but the law stipulates that it can also be sought for punitive damages, which are designed to punish the offender or offenders and to further compensate the victim.

Types Of Wrongful Death Compensation
In a wrongful death case, the loss of financial support or services that the deceased family member once provided, the deceased family member’s future earning capacity, mental pain and suffering, medical or funeral expenses, loss of decedent’s companionship and protection, and lost parental companionship, instruction and guidance are all considered damages pursuant to Florida Law and can be compensated in a wrongful death case. The amount of compensation will depend upon the victim’s age at the time of death as well as the life expectancy and health of the person.
