How Our Attorneys Help in Orlando Wrongful Death Claims
Retaining wrongful death lawyers from our firm can be helpful after an Orlando accident. We can:
- Assign a value for your losses: Claims in any personal injury case can be complicated, but the loss of a loved one can make it harder to determine how much you can seek. Our wrongful death attorneys will make sure every expense and loss is accounted for. We will consult experts to help calculate the damages you are entitled to, including those that do not have a direct financial value.
- Work to hold responsible parties accountable for your damages: We will review your case to determine which party or parties are liable for the deceased person’s death. Some cases can involve multiple people or companies who are responsible for your family’s losses. We have many years of experience in tort law, and we will make sure we properly establish negligence.
- Negotiate with the liable parties’ insurance companies: Insurance companies do not always cooperate or offer an adequate payout for your losses. We can handle these conversations and make your family’s best interests are represented. We may be able to come to an agreement without taking your case to court, but if insurers aren’t willing to make a fair offer, we will not hesitate to take your case to court.
- Answer any questions you have about your wrongful death claim: There is a lot of uncertainty about damages, who can file a claim, and what tasks you may need to do in the aftermath of your loss. We can help you with your questions and perform certain tasks on your behalf.
- Protect your rights: insurers may not be arguing in good faith, and we will make sure your rights and interests are protected throughout the entire process. We will make sure we take over any communications to avoid having insurers twist your words and use them against you.
- Take your case to court, if necessary: When settlement negotiations do not pan out, we will represent your lawsuit in court. Going to trial can seem intimidating, but we are with you every step of the way, and we handle all necessary negotiations and paperwork.
You should be healing with family and friends. A wrongful death case can be a complicated process. Let our team handle the legal process for you so your family can grieve peacefully. While compensation will not bring back the deceased person, it could help you cope with the unexpected financial strain brought on by their absence.

Damages You Could Recover After a Wrongful Death in Orlando
Every case is different, and your potential settlement or court-awarded judgment will depend on the losses your loved one’s passing has caused. You may be able to recover compensation for:
- Your loved one’s medical costs, including surgery, treatment, an ambulance ride, hospital stay, physical therapy, and prescriptions. We will ensure that all current and future medical expenses are accounted for, no matter how long it takes you to recover.
- Your loved one’s physical pain and suffering. Some victims may have survived the initial accident or injuries, but later pass away. Your loved one’s pain and suffering should be acknowledged, and we aim to make the at-fault parties pay for this loss.
- Your mental anguish, including emotional pain, psychological distress, and grief
- Funeral expenses: When your family member passes away, you are now responsible for making funeral plans. This can be an extremely costly expense, especially with all of the other unexpected expenses or monetary losses, not to mention the emotional distress you are going through. We will fight for funeral and burial expenses to help alleviate some of your financial burdens.
- Loss of companionship, guidance, instruction and protection: The emotional impact of your loss won’t be overlooked. You have lost a beloved family member, whether they be a spouse, parent, sibling, child, or another family who supported you, and their passing have left you with an emotional void. We may be able to seek compensation for the emotional benefits they would have provided had they not passed.
- Loss of your loved one’s income and future income and benefits: The economic losses associated with your loved one’s passing are not just limited to medical expenses. They may have contributed their income to your household, and not you and other surviving family members are struggling to make ends meet. We can seek lost income and lost earning potential to help keep your family afloat. We can also pursue any of your lost income if you had to take time off work to care for your loved one before their passing.
You may be eligible for additional damages not listed here, it just depends on the facts of your case. Please call Bogin, Munn & Munns to discuss your losses and begin your free consultation.

Legal Arguments in Orlando Wrongful Death Cases
Some legal arguments we have made in wrongful death cases include:
- That a property owner failed to repair or remedy a hazard on the property
- That a negligent driver engaged in dangerous driving, such as texting and driving
- A pet owner failed to monitor or secure a dog
- A manufacturer produced a defective or improperly repaired vehicle/vehicle part
- A city failed to repair a defective street sign or traffic light
If it applies to you, we could also make the case that the City of Orlando failed you by failing to repair defective equipment at intersections or interchanges like:
- I-4 and 408 Interchange
- Central Florida Parkway and John Young Parkway
- Aloma Avenue and Semoran Boulevard
Unfortunately, we see clients lose loved ones under a variety of circumstances. Bogin, Munns & Munns can help if you’ve lost a loved one because of a:
- Car accidents, truck accidents, and motorcycle accident: Orlando is one of the largest cities in Florida, and the constant flux of tourists, community and on-campus students, new residents, and long-term residents mean many drivers are on the road. In 2023, the Florida Traffic Safety Dashboard recorded almost 22,000 crashes. Sprawling intersections, construction, and congested and confusing highways puts drivers at risk every day. When other drivers are negligent, this increases the risks for fatal injuries.
- Bicycle collisions and pedestrian accidents: Not only are drivers at risk on the roads, but pedestrians and bikers are even more vulnerable to negligent drivers. Some of Orlando’s roads are not designed with bikers and pedestrians in mind, and these accidents can be devastating. If a loved one passed away, from this kind of accident, you deserve justice,
- Boat/watercraft accident: Orlando has many beautiful lakes and waterways, but negligent boaters can cause major issues for people on the water. We can help you if your loved one died t in a watercraft accident.
- Defective product: Faulty and dangerous products can cause a lot of harm, and out lawyers are prepared to represent you and fight for your losses after the death of a family member. Some of the cases we handle include dangerous drugs, faulty parts, and defective products.
- Medical malpractice: Medical malpractice can cause major injuries that cause the death of patients. We can help you seek damages from doctors, nurses, hospitals, and other medical professionals or entities.
- Slip and falls and other premises liability cases: Property owners and managers have a duty to their visitors, customers, and clients. If they were somehow responsible for your loved one’s passing, we will seek damages from them.
