Wrongful Death Cases Are Complex — Get an Attorney Who Knows the Law
When it comes to wrongful death incidents, our attorneys at Canan Law take an aggressive approach, often bypassing negotiations with insurance companies and filing a wrongful death action against those responsible. If drinking and driving were involved, we can also pursue a DUI manslaughter case.
In Florida, the law allows a spouse, child or beneficiary of a deceased loved one to seek compensatory damages in a wrongful death cause of action if:
