The death of a loved one is a tragic and gut-wrenching event, and it’s even harder to bear when another party’s negligence is responsible. If you’ve experienced this kind of loss, we first offer our sincerest condolences. No one should feel the pain of losing someone to a preventable accident. Furthermore, the responsible party should understand the serious consequences of their carelessness.
We know this is a difficult time, and discussing your loss may feel overwhelming. But pursuing a wrongful death lawsuit can provide a sense of closure and hold the negligent party accountable, especially in cases where pain and suffering have deeply impacted you and your family.
Too often, people miss out on justice due to strict time limits. In Florida, the statute of limitations for wrongful death cases is only two years from the date of the victim’s death. To ensure your rights are protected, we encourage you to act quickly. Schedule a free consultation with an experienced Oviedo wrongful death attorney today, so we can help you start the journey toward justice.
The days and weeks following a tragic loss are some of the most difficult moments you will ever experience.
In addition to dealing with the burden of grief, you may also have to navigate home and work obligations, probate proceedings, or numerous other responsibilities. Many who find themselves in this situation simply do not have the time or energy to pursue a wrongful death claim against the party responsible.
That’s where we come in.

No amount of compensation can replace your loved one, but a wrongful death lawsuit can help ease the financial hardships caused by their passing. It can also prevent similar tragedies from happening to others and provide crucial support for remaining family members, especially children left without a parent.
In Florida, family members (spouses, parents, children, and other dependents) may be entitled to recovery for medical bills, funeral expenses, pain and suffering, lost income, and other financial needs. Navigating these complex areas is best done with an Oviedo wrongful death attorney.

Your first step in filing a wrongful death suit is to meet with an attorney to determine whether the loss was the result of another’s negligence. The earlier you do this, the better. The sooner a decision is made, the more likely that evidence can be preserved.
Unfortunately, we have seen defendants change road conditions and other negligent conditions before an inspection can be done.
There are four elements to proving a wrongful death. The first is to prove there was a duty of care toward the deceased. For example, drivers have a duty to safely operate their vehicles, companies have a duty to ensure the safety of their products, and property owners have a duty to protect visitors from known threats.
Second, you must prove that there was a breach of duty. This could include a driver who drinks before getting behind the wheel or a property owner who failed to install security cameras in a high-crime area.
Third, you need to prove that you suffered from actual, measurable damages as a result of your loved one’s demise. This does not only mean financial hardship, but emotional turmoil as well.
Lastly—and most difficult to prove—is causation, the fact that the actions and/or negligence of the defendant were directly responsible for the damages you suffered.
Successfully proving all four of these principles is not as simple as it appears. Real-life cases often have details that make filing a lawsuit more complicated. Having an experienced wrongful death attorney on your side greatly increases your chances of a successful case.
Traffic accidents are a leading cause of death in the U.S., and far too often, they result from avoidable negligence.
In Florida, all drivers have a duty of care to operate their vehicles safely. However, distracted, intoxicated, or reckless drivers put others at risk every day.
It’s important to remember that you are not fighting against the at-fault driver when you file a wrongful death claim. You are fighting against their insurance company. The at-fault driver may not have legal representation, but we can assure you that the insurance company does.
Without experienced legal counsel of your own, you may be missing out on the full benefits you deserve. An Oviedo wrongful death attorney can help obtain the justice and compensation you deserve.
Grieving the loss of a loved one places a tremendous emotional and financial strain on families. At Beers & Gordon, we are here to help ease this burden by taking on your case with dedication and compassion.
