Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim in Florida?

The claim must be filed by the personal representative of the deceased person’s estate, on behalf of surviving family members such as:
  • Spouse
  • Children (including adult or minor children)
  • Parents of a deceased minor
  • Dependent blood relatives or adopted siblings
  • We’ll help you navigate the legal process, ensuring every eligible family member is included in your claim.

What Qualifies as a Wrongful Death Case in Florida?

Under Florida law, a wrongful death occurs when someone dies due to another party’s negligent, reckless, or intentional actions. These can include:
  • Fatal car or truck accidents
  • Medical malpractice resulting in death
  • Negligent security (assaults or shootings on unsafe properties)
  • Dangerous property or building conditions
  • Fatal workplace incidents

Common Injuries in Florida Car Accidents

Wrongful death claims aren’t just about financial compensation — they’re about justice for everything taken from you. Damages may include:

  • Funeral and burial costs
  • Medical expenses related to the final injury or illness
  • Loss of income and future earning potential
  • Loss of companionship, guidance, or parental support
  • Mental and emotional pain and suffering
  • We work with economists, grief counselors, and forensic experts to fully calculate the lifelong impact of your loss.

You don’t need to figure it all out today — but you do need someone on your side. We’re ready to listen, guide, and fight for what your family deserves.

30 Years of Local Experience
  • We’ve served West Palm Beach families since 1997, and Attorney Richard A. Ryles brings nearly three decades of litigation experience — including multi-million dollar wrongful death settlements.

Aggressive When It Counts, Compassionate When It Matters
  • We bring empathy to your pain and fierce strategy to the courtroom. Your family gets the personal attention you deserve, with a team who knows how to go up against insurers and corporations.

No Legal Fees Unless You Win
  • We work on a contingency basis. That means you pay nothing upfront — and we don’t get paid unless we recover compensation for your loss.
