Why You Should Consult With a Truly Compassionate Attorney at the DLopez Law Firm

Attorney Lopez decided to open her business because she saw that there are thousands of injury law firms in South Florida, but that most of them are operated like large mills. Meaning that after a client hires them, they are handed off to an assistant who simply relays messages and maintains the attorney’s caseload. It’s clear that in situations like this, the attorneys don’t have the time to truly get to know their clients and will often then handle their cases without any regard for the way they permanently impact their clients’ lives. Ms. Lopez recognized a need for a different kind of law firm, one that takes us back to the roots of personalized service and a compassionate approach to people’s unique situations.

What Can Your Family Recover in a Wrongful Death Case?

In a wrongful death claim in South Florida, you and your family may be able to recover compensation for expenses and losses that you have incurred due to your loved one’s passing. Types of compensation available in wrongful death cases include:

• Loss of a deceased family member’s companionship, care, and affection
• Loss of a decedent’s guidance, instruction, and support
• Loss of a decedent’s financial contributions to the family and the value of the services the decedent performed around the household
• Surviving family members’ emotional pain and distress
• Medical and funeral/burial expenses paid directly by surviving family members

In addition to providing financial recovery for surviving family members, a decedent’s estate may also be entitled to recover compensation for expenses and losses that the decedent or their estate incurred, including:

• Outstanding medical bills/invoices incurred to treat the decedent’s final injury or illness
• Loss of wages/income suffered by the decedent from the onset of the wrongfully inflicted injury or illness to the date of the decedent’s death
• The loss of savings and growth of the value of the decedent’s estate
• Funeral and burial expenses paid by the decedent’s estate
• Conscious pain and suffering experienced by the decedent

While compensation for surviving family member’s losses may be paid directly to the family members, compensation for a decedent’s own expenses and losses incurred prior to their death or the expenses incurred by the decedent’s estate are paid to the estate and distributed according to the decedent’s will or state law.
