Wrongful Death Accident Attorney in North Miami Beach, FL

The wrongful death statute in North Miami Beach, and elsewhere in Florida, was originally intended to provide financial support to widows and orphans, at a time when they most needed it. It was also intended to act as a deterrent to those who may be lax about taking sufficient care to avoid an accident. A criminal case relating to the death of your loved one does not disqualify you from filing a wrongful death lawsuit, and neither proceeding will have an impact on the other. For example, the family of a person murdered in North Miami Beach may pursue a civil case for wrongful death compensation, even where the defendant has been acquitted during a criminal trial for murder charges.

Wrongful death claims can relate to either intentional or unintentional actions within North Miami Beach, Florida or elsewhere. When you consult with a North Miami Beach wrongful death lawyer from Dante Law Firm, P.A., the specifics of your case will be discussed, to enable your attorney to identify the best way in which to proceed.
