How can I prove negligence caused my loved one’s death?
You can leave the legal burden of proof to the skilled personal injury team at Cressman Law Firm. However, in order to create a strong case of negligence backed with hard evidence, we’ll need detailed documentation, witness testimony, and expert involvement. We frequently use medical experts to bridge the gap between the “accidental” frame of mind versus “negligent behavior.” Whether a careless corporation or careless individual was responsible for your loved one’s untimely passing, our team will work around the clock to ensure any signs of negligence are brought to light in front of the State of Florida.

Can more than one person be held accountable in a wrongful death lawsuit?
It is possible to name multiple defendants in a wrongful death case, but it will depend on the circumstances and whether or not negligence can be proven. For instance, in wrongful death cases involving a defective product, it may be possible to hold both the manufacturer and retailer financially responsible. If both careless driving and a defective auto part caused a fatal accident, both parties may be held accountable. After a thorough legal consultation, Attorney Mark P. Cressman will let you know if you have a case within 3 – 5 days.
How much compensation will my family be awarded?
That will all depend on the details surrounding the accident, as well as your loved one’s medical and death-related expenses, his or her financial standing and responsibilities, and the extent of negligence involved. There are a variety of monetary damages a wrongful death claimant may be entitled to, including loss of support and services, loss of companionship and protection, mental pain and suffering, and medical and burial expenses.
