Severe burns can result in a victim’s death after an accident. While the injured person cannot file a claim, someone else can do so on their behalf. Surviving family members can gain compensation for the losses they endured.
Under Florida law, a personal representative is the one who sends the official complaint. The deceased person’s estate plan names the representative. Usually, the person is a member of the family. Otherwise, the court appoints someone to represent the victim in the lawsuit process.
