Unexpectedly losing a loved one can result in an overwhelming amount of physical and emotional stress. After a loved one has passed on, family members can experience a high level of financial pressure. The sudden loss of a loved one undoubtedly leads to medical expenses and funeral and burial costs. On top of these expenses, there is often the loss of a loved one’s income and benefits. If you bring a wrongful death claim and receive an award, it can help pay for funeral and burial expenses, mortgage or rent payments, credit card payments, education and tuition costs, utility bills, and any other similar expenses.
After a loved one has died, you and your family will likely have to deal with numerous insurance companies. The insurance companies often seek to take advantage of your vulnerable state by offering you a settlement that is less than what you are rightfully entitled to in an effort to settle your claim as quickly as possible. The South Miami wrongful death lawyers at Friedland | Carmona have over twenty years of experience helping their clients fight the insurance companies in order to obtain the compensation that their clients deserve. If you lose a loved one due to another person’s negligence, you should not have to suffer overwhelming financial stress or lose your quality of life.

Friedland settled and litigated wrongful death claims for over twenty years. He has recovered substantial settlements and verdicts for his wrongful death clients.

Wrongful death claims are not the types of claims that an inexperienced attorney should handle; you need an experienced attorney to work on your behalf.
