Making things as right as the law allows
While there is never adequate compensation for the loss of a loved one, Florida law provides for the at-fault party to compensate the family for economic and non-economic losses. We handle these cases with the care they deserve.
We understand your special needs at this most difficult time — and we shoulder the legal burden so your family can grieve while we pursue full accountability.
- Free, confidential case evaluation — you pay nothing unless we win
- Direct access to trial-tested attorneys, not a case number
- Meticulous preparation of every claim — medical records, experts, evidence
- Aggressive negotiation with insurers — and trial when they won't pay fairly
Who may recover under Florida law
The Florida Wrongful Death Act allows recovery for the estate and surviving family members, including:
- Spouses — companionship and mental anguish
- Children — lost parental guidance and support
- Parents of a deceased child
- Lost financial support and services
- Medical and funeral expenses
- The estate’s lost prospective earnings
We carry the legal burden so you can grieve
A wrongful death claim must be brought by the estate’s personal representative, generally within two years. We handle every step — appointing the representative, preserving evidence, and dealing with insurers — so the legal process never adds to your family’s pain.
No recovery restores what was lost. But holding the responsible party fully accountable can secure your family’s future and, often, force the changes that prevent another family from suffering the same loss.
- Medical bills — past and future
- Lost wages and earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Permanent injury and disability
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Property damage and out-of-pocket costs
What to do after losing a loved one
- Get medical care — your health comes first, and prompt treatment also documents your injuries before insurers can claim a "gap in care."
- Report and document — file the police or incident report, photograph everything, and collect names of witnesses while memories are fresh.
- Say nothing to insurers — do not give recorded statements or accept early offers — adjusters use both to reduce what they pay you.
- Call Spinner Law Firm — a free, confidential consultation costs nothing, and you pay no fee unless we win. The earlier we start, the more evidence we can preserve.
