After losing a loved one due to the negligence of someone else, you may face substantial financial difficulties, as well as emotional trauma. Our legal team at Goldberg & Rosen has a team of top Miami wrongful death attorneys, and is deeply understanding of your situation. We will help you recover compensation that can lessen the financial burden and help you move forward as you recover from your loss.
Often, a wrongful death lawsuit is filed after the conclusion of the criminal case connected with a murder. Even if the defendant in a criminal case was not convicted, the surviving family members can file a wrongful death lawsuit, as was famously done in the OJ Simpson case. Even though he was found not guilty in the criminal case, he was not successful when the family brought a wrongful death lawsuit against him.
This type of civil lawsuit requires an experienced wrongful death lawyer to successfully use the evidence produced in the criminal case. Additionally, Miami has time restrictions on filing a wrongful death lawsuit, which is usually 4 years from the death. There are some circumstances where this time frame is extended.
Retaining a personal injury lawyer in Miami is the best way to ensure the lawsuit is conducted properly and in a timely manner. There are significant differences in how this type of legal action is conducted.
In a criminal case, the law requires a very strict level of proof, whereas in a civil case, the standard of proof is lower, since the defendant’s liberty is not at stake. At Goldberg and Rosen, our professional litigation team includes a wide array of expert witnesses who can be called upon to clarify aspects of the case that may not have been admissible in the criminal trial. If you have lost a loved one to a violent act, we can at least help you get some financial relief, which can help buffer the turmoil created when a loved one is lost.
