Defense in Catastrophic Injury and Wrongful Death Cases
Personal injury accidents often result in very serious injuries, and sometimes result in death. The Florida Wrongful Death Act (Florida Statute Sections 768.16 to 768.26) outlines the recoverable damages in a wrongful death action, including loss of support and services, medical or funeral expenses and lost earnings. The Befera Law Firm has considerable experience defending clients, including individuals and employers, against claims for recovery involving catastrophic injury or wrongful death.
