Death is a natural part of life, but when a loved one has died due to the fault or gross negligence of another it can be a tragedy for surviving family members. A person who loses their life due to the fault or gross negligence of another is the innocent victim of a "wrongful death."
Long after a fatal accident, family members feel the loss of a loved one who died because of the negligence or acts of others. The wrongful death lawyers of Leesfield & Partners understand the pain felt by survivors and offer compassionate representation in wrongful death litigation, representing clients throughout the Miami, South Florida area and nationwide.
If you have lost a loved one due to a wrongful death in the Miami area, you and other family members may be eligible for damages. Under Florida law, family members can collect economic damages for medical and funeral expenses, as well as non-economic damages for loss of companionship of the family member and emotional suffering. It is important to contact Miami wrongful death attorneys as soon as possible for a prompt investigation of the circumstances of death and the preservation of evidence.
