West Palm Beach Wrongful Death Attorney, Carlos Jiménez, Seeks Justice for You and Your Family
A West Palm Beach wrongful death attorney from 24/7 Injury Law is a professional you can count on after the tragic loss of a loved one. By working with our firm as soon as possible, you reduce the risk of making mistakes that can impede your ability to seek justice and compensation for the death of your loved one.
According to Florida law, you have two years from the date of the accident to file your wrongful death action. These cases become much more complex when your loved one passes months after the motor vehicle accident or negligent action of another. In cases of medical malpractice resulting in death, you have two years from the date the negligent medical action should have reasonably been discovered. The language in the statute is vague about what is considered “reasonable” which is where 24/7 Injury Law can be helpful in supporting your case.
Our firm is dedicated to serving our clients. We’re exactly what your family needs to alleviate the stress that comes with resolving legal matters related to the death of a loved one.
