Florida Wrongful Death Lawyers

Florida Wrong Deathful Lawyers

Overview
Losing a loved one is always hard. It is even harder when you know that it was a wrongful death. Wrongful deaths are those deaths that are caused by the negligence, misconduct or malpractice of another individual or company. There need not be any intent to murder for the death to be a wrongful death. An accidental death caused by an ill-maintained property or a faulty product is a wrongful death. Wrongful death can be caused by a breach of contract or warranty, misconduct, wrongful act etc.

Boating
Careless driving of a boat often causes fatalities in many ways. Boat driving is governed by restrictions and rules just like car driving. Rash boat driving can throw people overboard due to unnecessary turbulence, it can run over swimmers and it can also cause the boat to hit other boats, bridges, etc.

Deaths caused by these accidents are attributed to the driver of the boat and under certain circumstances also to the owner. The victim’s family members, especially the dependants are legally eligible for compensation from the liable parties in these situations.

Drowning
Drowning can often happen due to negligence or poor design. An unfenced swimming pool is a dangerous place where unsupervised children may drown. A poorly maintained surface around the pool may also cause a person to fall in by tripping or slipping. Uncovered empty pools can prove to be fatal for anyone who falls in such a manner.

Dangerous Product
In many ways certain products can prove to be fatal. Small children may put something poisonous in to their mouths or small-sized products may pose choking hazards to them. This is why many products come with the appropriate warnings. In case a product has caused such an accident and there was no mention of the safety risk anywhere, the company manufacturing and selling that product is liable for the wrongful death caused by the product.

Drunk Driver Accident Fatalities
Drunk driving and Driving Under the Influence (DUI) accounts for a large percentage of all the driving accidents that take place within the state as well as the country. Any person who is driving under the influence of alcohol is likely to be less attentive to his driving and rendered unable to properly focus on the driving. As a result, the driver may run over pedestrians or hit other cars, properties, etc. causing wrongful deaths.

In this case the driver is directly responsible for the deaths and the owner of the vehicle may also be liable under certain circumstances.

Construction Accident Fatalities
Construction site accidents often happen due to faulty equipment and negligent employers/authorities. If an accidental death at a construction site is caused by any fault on the part of the overseeing authorities, the security personnel or by faulty construction equipment – can become a wrongful death. The relevant entity will then be charged with causing the wrongful death.

Electrocution
Electrocution may happen at several places – like swimming pools, construction sites or even on the road. Faulty wiring and defective cables are often to be blamed for this. For example, poorly maintained power supply cables can cause electrocution and so can faulty wirings near a swimming where there is always water around. In such cases, the wrongful death will be the responsibility of the authorities in charge of maintaining such wirings and cables. Entities who sell, manufacture or install such wirings or cables may also be charged.

Negligent Security
Faulty security within an area may cause deaths that could have been avoided. Securities guarding and patrolling public and private places are charged with the safety of all those who visit the places. The failure to secure these visitors against fatalities may cause the employer and/or the security contractor or company to be charged with causing the wrongful deaths.

Pharmacy Error
Pharmacies are required by law to follow strict guidelines regarding the storing and selling of medicines and related products. This is because any error by the pharmacy while dispensing medicines might cause a person to die from receiving the wrong medication. However, such deaths do occur due to negligence and/or malpractice. In these situations the concerned pharmacy and/or medical practitioner are liable for the wrongful death under Florida State law.
