Premises Liability Wrongful Death

A premises liability wrongful death claim arises when a fatality occurs due to unsafe conditions on someone else’s property. In Florida, property owners are required to maintain safe premises. When negligence—such as hazardous conditions like slippery floors, broken stairs, or poor security—leads to death, the property owner may be liable.

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

• Benefits of Filing: Family members of a loved one who dies due to unsafe conditions on someone else's property can seek compensation for funeral expenses, lost wages, emotional distress, loss of companionship, and other damages. Spouses, children, and dependents often benefit from the compensation in wrongful death claims.
• Consequences Without Representation: Navigating a premises liability wrongful death claim can be daunting without legal representation. Property owners and insurers often deny responsibility, and Florida's two-year statute of limitations means delays can seize your right to compensation. Handling the legal process and evidence collection on your own can hinder your case.
