Can Anyone File a Wrongful Death Suit?
No – wrongful death actions can only be filed by certain parties. Specifically, Florida law allows for a spouse, children, or parents of a deceased person to file a wrongful death action, or a party (sibling or blood relative) who was dependent upon the decedent.
Damages Recoverable in a Wrongful Death Action
Nothing can fully compensate a person who suffers the loss of a loved one, but filing a civil action can help to provide financial relief. A plaintiff in a wrongful death action may seek damages for:
- The value of lost support and services of the deceased;
- Loss of companionship and protection;
- Loss of parental companionship and instruction;
- Mental pain and suffering;
- Medical expenses;
- Funeral and burial expenses; and
- Loss of earning of the deceased.

“The Benenati law firm makes you believe that you are the single most important PERSON (not case) to them. Throughout the entire process, they maintained weekly contact with me, asking how I was doing or if I needed anything. I was provided with frequent updates as to how my case was progressing and was pleasantly surprised with the speed at which they were able to reach a substantial settlement. I've had the unfortunate experience of dealing with other well-known personal injury attorneys in Orlando who were unable to provide the level of expertise, care and service that Walter Benenati and his team can!”

“My experience with the Benenati Law Firm in Orlando was a great experience. They helped right away after a heartbreaking experience at another law firm. THEY MADE MORE PROGRESS IN MY CASE IN TWO MONTHS THAN 2 YEARS WITH MY FORMER LAW FIRM. I am so grateful.”
