- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
