Wrongful DeathAttorney

When a negligent act takes a loved one's life, surviving family members deserve answers, accountability, and the financial recovery the law allows.

A wrongful death claim asks the court to hold the responsible party financially accountable for the loss they've caused. In Florida, that recovery can include funeral and burial expenses, the deceased's lost future income, the value of services and support the deceased would have provided, and the mental pain and suffering of a surviving spouse, parents, or children.

These cases are emotionally heavy and legally intricate. Brandon Chase handles them with the care families deserve and the discipline the litigation requires. Justice demands taking this step — and so often it's what makes the next chapter of the family's life financially possible.

Common causes of wrongful death claims

  • Car, truck, and motorcycle accidents
  • Cruise ship and maritime incidents
  • Pedestrian and bicycle collisions
  • Drunk and distracted driving
  • Defective products
  • Premises liability — drownings, falls, criminal acts on poorly secured property
