How to File a Wrongful Death Lawsuit?

June 24, 2017 By //  by Art Fulmer, Jr.

The Florida Wrongful Death Act enables family members of the decedent to collect damages from the organization or person(s) they believe to have caused the decedent’s death. While a wrongful death lawsuit benefits all family members and other with an “interest,” the only individual who can file a wrongful death claim in Florida is the personal representative of the estate. This person is either directly listed in the will or estate plan; alternately, the court determines whom this individual will be.
