What Categorizes a Wrongful Death in South Florida?

Wrongful death refers to when someone is killed due to the negligent or wrongful actions of another party. In Florida, wrongful death falls into a few categories. The first is negligence-based occurrences. This includes things like car accidents caused by reckless or intoxicated driving, or workplace violations in the workplace that create a hazardous environment.

Medical malpractice is another circumstance that can cause wrongful death. Medical malpractice includes misdiagnosis, failure to diagnose, or errors in care caused by carelessness.

Defective products can also cause wrongful deaths. Defective products are anything that is sold commercially and has failed a quality control check. For example, a ladder with loose rungs is a defective product that could cause serious injury or death if it was sold in stores.

Intentional tort is the final category that wrongful deaths can fall into. These are crimes committed that were not intended to cause death. They can include fraud, false imprisonment, assault, and more.
