MIAMI, FLORIDA MARITIME WRONGFUL DEATH ATTORNEY

There have always been certain inherent risks involved in navigating the waterways. Fortunately, through modern technology and stringent safety regulations, those dangers have been significantly reduced. Still, people lose their lives in boating accidents, cruise ship accidents, drownings, small vessel collisions, loading containers, transporting hazardous materials and any number of other incidents that may or may not have been preventable.

A wrongful death occurs when a person is killed due to the negligence or misconduct of another individual, company, or organization. A legal action for wrongful death belongs to the decedent's immediate family members, usually a surviving spouse and children, and sometimes parents. In order to bring a successful wrongful death cause of action, the following elements must be present:

• The death of a human being
• Caused by another's negligent or intentional conduct of the ship or it's crew
• The survival of family members who are suffering the loss.
