We employ a bespoke approach to every Tampa wrongful-death lawsuit to ensure the family gets the compensation they deserve. Wrongs Caused by Negligence Nothing can replace the anguish and grief caused by the loss of a loved one. Still, if your beloved has been wrongly killed due to another person's negligence, you may be entitled to some form of justice. A Tampa wrongful-death attorney may bring a civil action for wrongful death in addition to any criminal charges. This claim can be brought for reasons like car accidents, motorcycle accidents, and airplane crashes, healthcare malpractice, and product liability. The last cause mentioned can lead to a criminal prosecution. This may confuse you on the distinction between criminal and civil cases for wrongful deaths. While civil cases are based on compensation, criminal cases are based on deterrence and punishment. The defendant in a wrongful-death lawsuit may be imprisoned, but this is still dependent on the circumstances. The burden of proof is essential for both criminal and civil cases. In the civil context, the claimant has to prove that the defendant more than that they did not. Instead of the criminal standard beyond a reasonable doubt, the civil standard could be "proven by the majority of evidence" or sometimes "clear and convincing evidence." Florida law specifies who can sue for wrongful deaths. Survivors like spouses, children, and parents of the deceased have the right to do so.
