A wrongful death claim may be warranted when the death of a person is the result of action not taken, negligent or reckless conduct, or willful conduct in the treatment of an individual, resulting in death. Negligence is the most common cause of wrongful death. To prove a case of negligence, it must be shown that person or persons responsible for the treatment of the individual failed to act in the proper manner and that this action or inaction was the cause of death.

If you feel that someone you love is the victim of wrongful death, we urge you to contact Clifford Wells Attorney at Law, as soon as possible to better understand the legal rights of survivors of your loved one.

Each state has its own wrongful death statute(s). Under Florida law, only certain classes of people can file suit for wrongful death. Possible claimants include: spouses, children, parents, and, if dependent in whole or in part upon the decedent for support, other blood relatives, adoptive brothers or sisters, and children born out of wedlock if the decedent was the mother or the father if he has recognized a responsibility for support.
