Miami Wrongful Death Attorneys

The unexpected death of a family member is so traumatic and all-consuming that it's often impossible for immediate family members to think about whether they have a legal case. At the Miami wrongful death attorneys of Hoffman, Larin & Agnetti, we understand the difficulties that families face when a family member dies suddenly, and we work hard to make sure our clients receive careful and compassionate representation.

Wrongful death lawsuits are different from other personal injury claims. The suit is brought on behalf of the survivors or the estate of the deceased rather than the victim. Calculating the cost of a death requires vocational and economic experts to determine the contribution of the decedent to the family economy had he or she lived. These specialists will determine the non-economic contribution of the deceased. This includes emotional support, help with chores, and attendance at kids’ sporting events; all of which are difficult to quantify. Another difference is the possibility of a survival action, which compensates the estate of the deceased for pain and suffering, medical costs, and other expenses incurred between the accident and the death. The wrongful death attorneys at Hoffman, Larin & Agnetti will complete a thorough investigation to prove fault and liability. In addition we will identify and pursue all applicable insurance coverage and other potential sources of financial recovery. With over 20 years of experience our firm has become well-versed in all legal issues that apply in wrongful death and survivor actions.

Some examples of catastrophic and wrongful death cases that we handle include:

  • Fatal car accidents
  • Motorcycle accidents
  • Semi-truck accidents
  • On-the-job accidents
  • Construction accidents
  • Premises accidents
  • Injuries and deaths caused by defective products
  • Nursing home litigation (abuse or neglect cases)

If you or a loved one has suffered the premature death of a family member due to negligence, or the reckless or criminal behavior of another, consult the experienced wrongful death attorneys at Hoffman, Larin, & Agnetti today. Our firm will aggressively seek maximum compensation to help you handle medical and funeral expenses, lost wages of the deceased, and other financial and emotional consequences.  The law surrounding wrongful death, however, allows legal action to be taken only for a limited period of time. When this period has elapsed, you will no longer have the option of filing a lawsuit.  Call for a free consultation today.
