Long after a fatal accident, families feel the loss of a loved one who died because of the negligence or acts of others. At Greenberg & Stone, P.A., our lawyers are cognizant of the pain felt by survivors and offer compassionate representation in wrongful death litigation.

In seeking to recover wrongful death compensation, Stewart G. Greenberg and Mark D. Stone meet personally with families to learn as much as they can about loved ones and what their loss means to surviving members of the family. We represent clients throughout the Miami-Dade, South Florida area, and nationwide.

Who Can Collect Wrongful Death Damages?

Spouses, children and parents of wrongful death victims may be eligible to recover damages. Under Florida law, family members can collect economic damages for medical and funeral expenses, as well as non-economic damages for loss of companionship of the family member and emotional suffering. (In medical malpractice cases, only children under 25 or those who were financially dependent may collect for the death of a parent).

Wrongful death claims may arise from any accident or intentional act — fatal car crashes, death by hospital malpractice, dangerous premises, defective products, aircraft accidents. We employ a full-time private investigator and consult with a nationwide network of medical experts, accident reconstruction engineers, human factor experts and other professionals who can testify to the cause of the fatal injury.

Dedication to Our Clients

Greenberg & Stone, P.A. maintains a close relationship with clients through the sometimes long process of wrongful death litigation. In one case, we prevailed on behalf of a family that sued Florida Power and Light over a malfunctioning street light that led to a fatality. We appealed the case to the Florida Supreme Court, which aided in changing the law in Florida, and won a substantial settlement for the surviving family members — 10 years after the accident occurred.
