Florida Wrongful Death Lawsuits

Death is difficult enough, but the wrongful death of a parent, spouse or child brings with it a sense of loss so deep, words cannot describe. Those left behind are often overwhelmed by grief and the enormous challenge of just making it through each new day. Many are unsure of what they should do next or where to turn for help.

At The McLeod Firm in St. Augustine, Florida, you can find answers to your questions, compassion for what you’re going through and effective legal representation you can trust — representation that will allow you to grieve in your own way and spend more time with your family.
Effective Legal Representation When You Need It Most

Our objective is always to get you the full financial compensation you need so you can move forward with your life. In cases of wrongful death, we investigate and prepare cases for trial from the very beginning, the same way we would an injury claim resulting from a car crash or medical negligence. We always attempt to settle cases without a trial first. That said, defendants and insurance companies aren’t always reasonable. Whenever that’s the case, we do not hesitate to take cases to trial. Call us at 904-471-5007 today to learn more or contact us online.
Wrongful Death Damages

Compensation in a wrongful death claim isn’t really about the person who died. Instead, the focus shifts to the survivors and what they have lost — not just in an economic sense, but in a spiritual, social and emotional sense as well.

No lawyer can hope to convey those things to a judge, a jury or to opposing counsel unless they have spent time getting to know the family members and getting a sense of the relationship each survivor had with the decedent. This is what we do. In fact, it’s what this firm has been doing for more than 20 years.
