WE TAKE ON THE COMPLEX CLAIMS

When a Family Is Grieving, the Legal Side Should Be Handled Carefully

A wrongful death claim is not only about paperwork, deadlines, and insurance. It is about protecting your family after a life was taken too soon.

We help review what happened, preserve the records that may matter, and take pressure off your family while you focus on each other.

Wrongful death cases are part of the firm’s broader Florida personal injury work, but they require a quieter, more careful approach because the loss affects the entire family.

WHAT WE DO

Wrongful Death Cases We Handle

Fatal Car Accidents

A sudden crash can take someone a family loved in an instant. When a preventable collision causes a loss, our Florida car accident lawyers help protect the evidence and pursue accountability.

Fatal Commercial Vehicle Accidents

When a company vehicle is involved, families deserve answers from more than the driver. Our commercial vehicle accident lawyers review the business records, coverage, and facts behind the crash.

Fatal DUI Accidents

Losing someone to an impaired driver brings grief, anger, and questions that deserve answers. Our DUI accident lawyers help preserve the evidence and push for accountability.

Fatal Uber & Lyft Accidents

A fatal rideshare crash can leave a family facing confusing insurance and app-status questions. Our Uber and Lyft accident lawyers step in so you are not left sorting it out alone.

Pedestrian & Bicycle Deaths

When someone walking or riding a bike is killed, the family deserves more than assumptions. We review what happened, protect the facts that matter, and help your family understand the next step.

Fatal Premises Accidents

Unsafe property can lead to a loss that should never have happened. We help families review what was ignored, missed, or left unfixed.

Nursing Home Neglect Deaths

When a loved one dies in a nursing home, families may be left wondering whether warning signs were missed or care was delayed. We help review what happened and whether neglect played a role.

Workplace Deaths

A fatal workplace accident can leave a family with grief, financial pressure, and questions about who was responsible. We review the circumstances and whether another party may be accountable beyond the job site.

You Should Have Space to Grieve & Let Us Handle The Worry

A preventable death can leave your family with shock, anger, unanswered questions, and pressure from insurance. You should not have to manage the legal fight while trying to grieve.

Katz & Associates steps in with care, protects the evidence, deals with the insurer, and pursues the compensation and accountability your family may be entitled to seek.

THE RIGHT EVIDENCE MAKES THE DIFFERENCE

Details That May Need to Be Preserved

Crash Or Incident Reports

Reports, citations, diagrams, and official records can help document what happened.

Insurance Coverage

Policies, company coverage, rideshare coverage, commercial coverage, or other insurance sources can affect what options may be available.

Witness Accounts

People who saw the accident, responded afterward, or know the conditions may matter.

Photos & Video

Scene photos, surveillance footage, dashcam video, traffic cameras, and property records may help preserve the truth.

Time, Records, and Insurance Can Matter More Than Families Realize

When a family is grieving, legal deadlines and insurance issues should not be the first thing on their mind. Still, those details can affect what options may be available later. Records can become harder to find, witnesses can become harder to reach, and insurance companies may begin protecting themselves before the family has had time to breathe.

Wrongful death claims have legal filing deadlines.
Insurance companies may move quickly to protect their own interests.
Business records, crash evidence, photos, and witness accounts can fade.
The family may have rights through the estate and eligible survivors.

You do not have to sort through this alone. Katz & Associates can help protect the claim while your family focuses on grieving, healing, and taking the next step.

This information is general, not legal advice. Every wrongful death claim is different.

Florida’s Wrongful Death Act is found in sections 768.16 through 768.26, and Florida law lists a two-year limitations period for wrongful death actions.

Questions Families May Have After a Fatal Accident

Who can bring a wrongful death claim?

Florida wrongful death claims are usually brought by the personal representative for the benefit of eligible survivors and the estate.

What losses can be included?

A claim may involve lost support, services, funeral expenses, medical expenses, loss of companionship, and other losses allowed by Florida law.

What if there is a criminal case?

The criminal case and civil claim are separate. Criminal evidence may help, but the family may still need its own legal review.

How long does the family have?

Florida generally gives families a limited time to bring a wrongful death action, so waiting can make the next step harder.

Is this part of a broader injury claim?

Yes. Wrongful death cases are part of the firm’s Florida personal injury work, but they require a more careful tone, a different evidence review, and special attention to the family’s losses.

What if I do not feel ready to talk about what happened?

That is okay. You do not need every document or answer before calling. Start with what you know, and Katz & Associates can help your family sort through the next step with care.
