No legal outcome can undo the loss of a husband, wife, parent, or child. But when a death was caused by someone else’s negligence — a reckless driver, an unsafe property, a workplace accident — Florida law gives the family a path to justice and to the financial security your loved one would have wanted for you.
Attorney Lonnie Richardson handles wrongful death cases with the compassion these matters demand and the courtroom strength they require.
Who can bring a claim
Under Florida’s Wrongful Death Act, the claim is filed by the personal representative of the estate on behalf of surviving family members — typically the spouse, children, or parents. We guide you through every step, including setting up the estate if that hasn’t been done.
What compensation covers
- Medical and funeral expenses
- Lost financial support and services the deceased provided
- Loss of companionship, guidance, and protection
- Mental pain and suffering of surviving family members
Time is limited
Florida generally allows only two years from the date of death to file. Evidence fades quickly; let us carry the legal burden while your family grieves. Consultations are free, confidential, and available in English and Spanish.
