Wrongful Death

A wrongful death occurs when an individual dies due to the negligence or intentional acts of another party, and can arise from any kind of personal injury incident, such as a motor vehicle accident, instance of medical malpractice, a defective product, or premises liability matter. 

In Florida, if the deceased individual would have been eligible to bring a personal injury suit, a personal representative can bring a wrongful death action on behalf of his or her estate and survivors.  Florida's Wrongful Death Act provides for many types of recoverable damages, including:

• The value of lost support and services
• A surviving spouse and minor children (or all children, if no spouse) can recover for loss of companionship and protection, and for mental pain and suffering
• Medical and funeral expenses related to the injury and/or death
• Lost wages from date of injury to death

Traumatic Brain Injury

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the legal term given to brain damage suffered because of a sudden physical force, impact, or shaking.  TBIs vary widely in severity, ranging from a minor concussion to injuries resulting in a permanent coma or vegetative state, and can be caused by a numerous incidents, including motor vehicle accidents, falls, toxic exposure, medical malpractice, birth trauma, and sports injuries.

In addition to the immense emotional and personal costs of an injury of this nature, TBIs have a tremendous financial impact on the injured victim's family, particularly because they often require extensive, long-term treatment and rehabilitation.  At the Moyé Law Firm, we have a wealth of experience handling these complex and time-consuming cases, and are dedicated to obtaining the maximum recovery to which you and your family is entitled.
