Wrongful Death Lawyer in Miami

Losing a loved one because of someone else’s negligence — a reckless driver, a trucking company that cut corners, a property owner who ignored a hazard — is devastating. No legal action can undo that loss, but Florida’s Wrongful Death Act gives surviving family members a path to justice and financial security. Tacher Law handles these sensitive cases with compassion and Over 40 years of trial experience.

Florida’s Wrongful Death Act: The Basics

Under Florida law, a wrongful death claim is brought by the personal representative of the deceased person’s estate on behalf of surviving family members. Eligible survivors can include a spouse, children, parents, and dependent blood relatives. Recoverable damages may include medical and funeral expenses, lost financial support and services, and — for close survivors — compensation for pain, suffering, and loss of companionship and guidance.

These cases must generally be filed within two years of the death, and the personal representative must be formally appointed — a process we handle for you. Because Florida’s comparative fault rules can apply, defendants often try to blame the deceased; we work to establish the full truth of what happened.

What Families Should Do

Preserve any evidence: photos, the police or incident report, and medical records.
Do not sign releases or accept payments from any insurer or responsible party.
Keep records of funeral expenses and the financial contributions your loved one provided.
Designate a family spokesperson to avoid conflicting statements.
Consult a wrongful death attorney promptly — deadlines are strict.
