In the case of a tragic death that leaves a child orphaned, the child’s legal guardian and/or a Hallandale Beach court may appoint a personal representative for the child, to enable a wrongful death action to proceed. If that wrongful death lawsuit results in a financial award, a court will usually oversee the management and distribution of those funds, to ensure it occurs in a manner consistent with the children’s best interests. If you are a family member or guardian of a minor child orphaned by a wrongful death in Hallandale Beach, contact an experienced wrongful death attorney as soon as possible to make sure the child’s rights are protected.
