Wrongful Death Attorney in Lake County

Compassionate representation during difficult times

Bereaved families are left to cope with the loss when the negligence of another results in a tragic death. While no amount of money can make up for losing a loved one, families have recourse under Florida law. A skilled Lake County wrongful death attorney can help you obtain the compensation that the law entitles you to, in order to help you deal with financial burdens.

Christopher Largey is a wrongful death attorney in Citrus and Lake Counties who provides compassionate and experienced legal guidance to families throughout Central Florida.

Helping Florida families recover damages

Spouses, children, and parents, along with brothers and sisters when dependent for support, can recover damages through a Florida wrongful death lawsuit. Recoverable damages include the following:

  • Medical costs
  • Funeral expenses
  • Loss of companionship
  • Loss of protection
  • Mental pain and suffering
  • Loss of future support and services
  • Loss of earnings
  • Loss of parental instruction and guidance

Fatal injuries can result from car accidents, on-the-job accidents, medical malpractice, property hazards, and defective products. Generally, lawsuits come down to settlements negotiated between the insurer for the responsible party and the attorney for the surviving family member(s). However, when parties cannot reach a fair settlement, our firm can litigate on behalf of our clients.

Be aware that an insurance company representative may approach you to discuss the wrongful death and gather statements, have you sign a waiver, or make a settlement offer. Obtaining an experienced wrongful death lawyer provides a number of advantages. One is that you do not have to deal with legal matters during a difficult time of loss. Another is that a knowledgeable attorney is aware of insurance company tactics and can advise on the fairness of offers. Typically, insurance companies do not look out for the best interests of the surviving family and try to negotiate the lowest settlement possible.
