When a loved one is wrongfully killed, it is a devastating time for the family. Not only must they deal with the mental anguish associated with the wrongful death, they must also deal with considerable financial concerns that can add to their emotional strain. Our wrongful death lawyers in Panama City, Florida can help families recover from the loss of a loved one, and help them receive compensation for medical expenses, funeral expenses, as well as the loss of financial support by the decedent.

The state of Florida has statutes that deal specifically with cases seeking compensation for wrongful death. These statutes identify who can bring a claim for wrongful death, which survivors can be compensated when there is a wrongful death, and the damages that are recoverable when there has been a wrongful death. In Panama City and across Florida, the law provides for a shortened statute of limitations for wrongful death claims, requiring that these claims must be brought within two years of the death. Because of these time constraints, it is important to contact our wrongful death lawyers in Panama City as soon as possible if you have lost a loved one due to the negligence of another party.
