WHEN SHOULD YOU REACH OUT TO A WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIMS ATTORNEY?

Under Florida law, wrongful death is defined as the taking of the life of an individual resulting from the willful, wrongful or negligent conduct of another person or persons. Wrongful death cases cover a wide range of things, and you should speak with a wrongful death attorney as soon as possible to see if your claim is legitimate.

What Happened To Your Loved One?

A wrongful death lawyer should look over your case when someone has died in an automobile accident, at their place of work, on public transportation, or when using a faulty product. These cases tend to feel like tragic accidents, but in most cases, someone is to blame.
If you feel wronged by the loss of your friend or loved one and believe that somebody should be held responsible, you should contact a wrongful death attorney in your area.

Does My Case Have Any Merit?

Your wrongful death attorney has an ethical duty to review the case, collect evidence, and determine if your case has merit. If it does not, your attorney must decline to represent you. Their license could be in jeopardy if they are litigating cases that have no merit, and you may be accused of badgering someone who is not at-fault for anything.

If the case does have merit, your wrongful death lawyer will then explain the steps you can take. You may want to settle the case with the person or entity, or your lawyer will explain why you should instead take the case to court.

Provide As Much Information As You Can

It is important to provide as much information as you possibly can. Your attorney can open an investigation that will collect data for the case, but you may have information that your lawyer cannot access. As your wrongful death attorney collects evidence, they will keep you updated on all information obtained.

Let Your Attorney Speak With The Defendant

You should not be the one to speak to the defendant or call their lawyer directly. If you speak to them without your attorney present, there is a chance you will give away information that can then be used against you in court. The defendant may reach out to you as well looking to settle, but you should not respond without your attorney present.

Negotiate A Settlement With The Help Of A Wrongful Death Attorney

You can negotiate a settlement with the help of your wrongful death lawyer. Your presence is not required during your meeting since your attorney can speak on your behalf and is there to represent you. However, your attorney will still run all offers made by you and share all that was discussed. You can then decide on a settlement that you think is fair, or you can press the defendant for more if you think their offer was not enough.

The settlement will close the case and your attorney will manage all payments using an escrow account and they will forward all the money to you when it arrives. Your wrongful death lawyer will take the defendant to court if the settlement money is not paid correctly. You should allow your lawyer to work with the defendant on payments, and you may be asked to sign a non-disclosure agreement or no-contact agreement.
