Frequently Asked Questions

What Is a Wrongful Death Claim?

A wrongful death claim is a legal action taken when someone's negligence or wrongful act results in another person's death. In Charlotte County, as in the rest of Florida, these claims seek to provide compensation for the deceased's survivors.

Understanding the intricacies of what constitutes a wrongful death act can be daunting. Our attorneys help clarify these legal definitions, illustrating how your unique circumstances align with state laws. We take the time to assess the incidents surrounding the death, ensuring that claims are supported by concrete evidence and compelling arguments.

Who Can File a Wrongful Death Lawsuit in Florida?

In Florida, the personal representative of the deceased’s estate is allowed to file a wrongful death lawsuit. This individual represents the interests of the deceased's beneficiaries, including spouses, children, and sometimes parents or other dependent relatives. At Bogle Law, we aid you in understanding your role and responsibilities as a personal representative, smoothing out the legal pathways to secure rightful compensation for your loss.

Identifying the correct party to file can sometimes be complicated due to family dynamics or unclear wills. At Bogle Law, we help navigate these family-related complexities, providing mediation where necessary to ensure a fair and unified family approach towards the litigation process.

What Damages Can Be Recovered in a Wrongful Death Case?

Compensation in wrongful death cases seeks to address both economic and non-economic losses.

Our wrongful death lawyers in Charlotte County work diligently to evaluate the full scope of your loss, advocating for a settlement that acknowledges every aspect of your suffering.

How Long Do I Have to File a Wrongful Death Claim in Charlotte County?
