Calling a lawyer is probably not the first thing you want to do after suffering the loss of a spouse, father, or child. But you should still consider contacting a qualified Miami wrongful death attorney at your earliest convenience once you have dealt with the immediate aftermath of your loved one’s death. As discussed above, Florida does have a two-year deadline to file a wrongful death lawsuit. That may sound like a lot of time, but consider it may take months of preliminary investigation to identify all of the potential defendants. Indeed, any delay in retaining a wrongful death lawyer may lead to the loss of valuable evidence.
