Child Wrongful Death

Wrongful Death of Child

Unquestionably the greatest loss of all – one that is truly inconsolable – is the death of a child. Parents’ grief never ends. This sense of loss permeates everything and tragically, will always leave emptiness and a hole in the parents’ hearts. For legal help, contact a wrongful death lawyer today.

The civil justice system, for all its brilliance in design and concept, is the most limited here. For a parent to seek justice on behalf of their most cherished, innocent, and blessed gift, who was taken away before his/her time, and prevented from pursuing his/her hopes, dreams, and life, is perhaps one of the greatest challenges of in life, let alone the law.

Florida Wrongful Death Claim

Parents in Florida can pursue those who are responsible for this greatest of all harms, including those at fault in an accident, product manufacturers, professionals, or other negligent persons or companies.

Wrongful Death Damages

In wrongful death cases involving a parent or husband/wife, determining financial losses is fairly straightforward, as wages or salary and benefits can be calculated over what would have been the victim’s normal lifetime or life expectancy. Wrongful death cases involving children, however, presents more challenges. Aside from the purely devastating nature of the loss, determining the amount of economic damages can be difficult.

The jury may consider what the child would have contributed to the parents’ support, but the amount is often hard to determine.
Financial loss for a child’s death is determined by the age, life expectancy, health and habits of the child. If the child was in school, then the child’s grades and teacher notes about the child’s behavior and eagerness to learn may be evaluated.
The child’s earning potential and work expectancy are also considered when determining financial loss.
Medical or funeral expenses that resulted from the child’s injury or death may also be recovered by the surviving family member who paid these costs.
The parent of a deceased minor child may recover damages for mental pain and suffering from the date of injury.
