Question:

Can I file a wrongful death claim for a sibling?

Answer:

We recently had a claim in Tampa where the sibling of a person who was a victim of a wrongful death was the person who contacted us. It was a very sad case. This involved a construction accident that could have been prevented. The sibling in this case, the brother, asked if he could bring a claim on behalf of his brother in wrongful death. The short answer to that – and it’s complicated – is the personal representative assigned to the estate usually brings the case. In that instance, the claim could be made through the personal representative.

The Florida statutes regarding wrongful death are complicated. You need an attorney who is well-versed in those areas. We would be glad to speak with you and help you navigate through the wrongful death process in a very difficult time. Give me a call.
