A wrongful death action, or “survival action,” can be brought in Florida for any type of accident or injury resulting from the negligence of another person or entity.

The Law Office of Mitchell Fox has handled a wide range of wrongful death claims, with a strong record of results in both negotiated settlements and verdicts at trial. Based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, our wrongful death lawyer represents victims throughout South Florida, including the Fort Lauderdale area and Broward county.

Florida Wrongful Death Claims
In Florida, the personal representative of the deceased's estate can bring a suit on behalf of beneficiaries (surviving spouse, dependant children, or parents). In some cases, siblings or other relatives may collect when there are no other beneficiaries. The statute of limitations requires that a wrongful death lawsuit be brought within two years.

Damages can include:

• Medical bills and funeral expenses
• Pain and suffering of the victim before death ensues
• Future income and benefits the deceased would have earned
• Survivors' loss of companionship

The Law Office of Mitchell Fox promptly investigates any fatality to determine the negligence that led to the fatal accident or injury. We hire professional investigators to document evidence at the scene and locate any witnesses. In motor vehicle accidents and defective product suits, we may purchase the wrecked vehicles or product to have it examined by engineers. Our firm also employs accident reconstruction specialists, qualified physicians, and other experts who can connect the negligence to the fatal injuries.

Mitchell Fox has prevailed at trial and obtained maximum compensation through settlements. His success owes to his approach to every case: thorough preparation, a strategy for how the case will likely play out, and hard bargaining with insurance companies.

At some firms, a junior lawyer or paralegal may handle the claim. At our firm, Mr. Fox meets personally with the family and attends to all aspects of the case himself. He is aggressive in ensuring that family members are provided for financially and holding the negligent party accountable.
