Fatal crashes occur about eight times per day on Florida's streets and highways. In this crash, it appears as though a failure to yield led to deadly results. Even a simple act of driver negligence can have catastrophic and life-altering consequences in a matter of seconds.
If you have lost a loved one as a result of the negligent acts of another driver, you may have a claim under Florida's wrongful death law. The wrongful death statute allows a next-of-kin to bring a claim on behalf of the deceased victim to recover certain types of compensation.
