- The deceased person’s spouse
- The deceased person’s children
- The deceased person’s parents
- Any blood relative or adopted siblings that were either partly or wholly dependent of the deceased

This time frame is called the statute of limitations. In the state of Florida, you have two-years from the date of death of your loved one to file. You can toll (pause) the deadline or extend the deadline under very few circumstances. As your attorney, I will help you determine the statute of limitations time frame in your specific case. We will work together to follow the deadlines, so that you don’t lose your right to bring your wrongful death suit.[/vc_column_text][ultimate_heading main_heading=”What Kind of Damages Can I Claim in a Wrongful Death Suit?” alignment=”left” main_heading_font_size=”desktop:26px;” main_heading_line_height=”desktop:32px;” main_heading_margin=”margin-bottom:20px;” main_heading_style=”font-weight:bold;”][/ultimate_heading][vc_column_text]Florida statutes state certain rules for awarding damages in these types of suits. As listed below, a surviving family member can expect to receive recovery for these common reasons:
- The value of a loss of companionship and protection provided by the deceased person
- The value of support the deceased person provided
- The value of the mental and emotional pain and suffering the surviving family member endured
- Any medical or funeral expenses any surviving family member has paid
- Lost wages or benefits that the deceased person could’ve been expected to make if they would have survived
- Any medical or funeral expenses that were paid directly by the estate
