Palm Beach, Broward, Miami-Dade County – Wrongful Death Lawyers
The needless death of a loved can cause intense grief and can lead to complex long-term problems, such as providing for family members who have lost the financial support of the family breadwinner. When Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami Beach County families suffer the loss of a loved one, wrongful death lawyers from Downs Brill Whitehead, The Law Firm, can offer superior legal counsel. If a family member has died because of the actions of another, you may be entitled to significant compensation.
What Is Wrongful Death?
Wrongful death occurs when the negligent or unreasonable action or omission of an individual causes or contributes to the death of another person. Wrongful death may be the final result of various injuries, including back, neck, and brain injuries, paralysis, and other catastrophic injuries from car accidents, maritime accidents, and other unfortunate events caused by the negligence of another. A wrongful death claim may also be pursued when the death of a loved one occurs because of conscious intent, such as murder.
At the Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade County offices of Downs Brill Whitehead, our wrongful death lawyers can help families who have lost a loved one due to the negligence of another. If you have lost a family member, our compassionate attorneys understand the severe emotional and financial impact you face, and they will work diligently to help you attain the full compensation you need to get your family's life back on track.
Criminal Prosecution vs. Civil Litigation
It is important to make the distinction between wrongful death-related civil litigation and criminal prosecution for manslaughter or murder. The two are different proceedings, and an individual may face both criminal charges and wrongful death civil litigation.
The burden of proof for lawyers is less strict in wrongful death civil litigation than it is in criminal proceedings. This means that although it may not be possible to achieve the conviction of an individual on criminal charges for a wrongful death, our lawyers may still be able to hold the person liable in a civil suit. If you have lost a family member due to the negligent or intentional actions of another, we encourage you to contact the Broward, Palm Beach, or Miami-Dade County offices of Downs Brill Whitehead to meet with our wrongful death lawyers so you can discuss your case and learn your options for attaining compensation.
