Nursing Home Wrongful Death

A nursing home wrongful death claim occurs when a resident dies due to neglect, abuse, or poor care. Florida law requires that facilities uphold high standards of care. When a nursing home fails in its duties—through inadequate staffing, neglect, or abuse—the result can be fatal. In such cases, the facility can be held liable, allowing families to seek justice and accountability.

Who Should File a Claim and Why Having an Attorney Is Essential

• Benefits of Filing: If a family member dies as a result of nursing home negligence or abuse, they may seek compensation for burial expenses, healthcare costs, pain and suffering, loss of relationships, and other damages. These claims assist families in recovering financial losses while also holding negligent facilities responsible.
• Consequences Without Representation: Nursing homes and their insurers often have strong defenses, making it difficult for families to hold them accountable without legal help. Florida law gives you two years from the date of death to file a wrongful death claim. Missing this deadline or failing to build a solid case can prevent you from seeking justice and compensation.
