Loved One Gone Due to a Fatal Accident? We Can Help.
When you have lost a family member in a fatal accident, we can help by taking care of your legal concerns and helping you through this difficult time. While money can never replace the person who has died through the negligence of another, it is important for you and your family to receive just compensation so you can start moving forward.
— Attorney Arturo Dopazo III
When you are grieving, the last thing you need to be dealing with is with insurance companies, creditors and the legal system. We can handle all that for you.
The most important decision you will make is to hire a lawyer who will look after your best interests and who will handle the business and legal details in the aftermath of a tragedy.
We seek wrongful death settlements when catastrophic injuries that lead to death are the result of someone else's negligence. Many times, death is caused by an accident: a fatal car crash in which the driver of the other car was under the influence of alcohol. It may also be the result of an intentional act: someone is shot and killed during an armed robbery at a convenience store. Wrongful death lawsuits can encompass medical malpractice, product liability, motor vehicle accidents that are the result of drinking while driving, speeding or recklessness as well as other personal injury issues.
Florida law allows the spouse, minor or dependent child or parent of a victim to seek compensation under wrongful death laws. Because of the complicated nature of wrongful death claims, it is important that you talk to an experienced attorney. At the Miami-area Law Office of Arturo Dopazo, we have an entire team ready to help you with all the issues you face during this difficult time. Call us at 305-909-6477 for a free, confidential and respectful consultation. Our phone is answered 24 hours a day.
Trust and Dedication You Can Count On
It will never be more important for you to find an attorney you can trust and who will be responsive to your needs. While we will be compassionate about your situation, we will always be honest and upfront with you. You will get a case manager who can help assist you with the needs of daily life such as transportation, counseling and household help. Here are some general facts about wrongful death that may help guide you:
- There is a statute of limitations regarding wrongful death claims in Florida: you must file any claim within two years of the death
- Bringing a timely wrongful death claim can help ensure that vital evidence is preserved
- Funeral and medical expenses are recoverable under a settlement or lawsuit
- Loss of anticipated income (that is, the wages that would have been earned up to retirement) is recoverable, as is the loss of benefits, such as pension
- Compensation may also be available for loss of protection, companionship, care, support and services
