We Speak for the Injured. We Speak for Their Families.Wrongful Death AttorneyWrongful Death Losing a loved one through death is a life altering experience for family members and friends. Nothing about our lives will ever be the same. We recall the time spent, the memories shared, the plans for the future, the hopes and dreams that will never come to be. The emotional impact of the death of a loved one reaches beyond the immediate loss affecting relationships, work, daily activities and mental outlook. The financial impact may be devastating, resulting in the loss of a home, the inability for a child to attend college, the need for a mother to return to work to support a family left without a father, a father who now has to adjust his work schedule to meet the needs of children left without a mother. When the death of a loved one is a result of misconduct, or the wrongful, careless or negligent act of another, intentionally or unintentionally, the suffering and loss experienced is made worse by knowing the death could have and should have been avoided. The state of Florida enacted laws to protect the rights of individuals affected by the loss of a loved one due to wrongful death. J. Stanford Morse has successfully represented individuals who have suffered loss due to the wrongful death of a loved one, recovering millions of dollars in just compensation. What makes J. Stanford Morse, P.A. the firm to choose when hiring representation in a wrongful death lawsuit? In addition to our proven track record of success, we understand the complexities involved in wrongful death cases. Proving fault in a wrongful death case is often the first challenge. In Florida, the law requires that the individual seeking damages prove the fault of the defendant. An additional challenge is determining the deceased’s future earnings. Firms with little experience in representing clients in wrongful death cases will often underestimate the true amount of just compensation. Don’t wait until it’s too late! Your right to recover damages in a wrongful death lawsuit is limited to the time frame determined by state law. Failure to file a timely claim in a wrongful death lawsuit may result in the inability to collect damages for your loss. The amount of time varies depending on the type of case. The statue of limitations for medical malpractice claims differs from the statute of limitations for a personal or product liability claim. Waiting too long to file your claim may result in damaging your ability to prove fault. Witnesses to the accident or incident may become unavailable. Recollections of key elements may fade over time. Documentation may become lost or unobtainable. Evidence may become lost or corrupted by age. Types of Wrongful Death Cases
