Can I sue for the wrongful death of an unborn child in Florida?

No, Florida law currently does not allow parents to file a wrongful death lawsuit for the loss of an unborn child. The Florida courts have ruled that a fetus is not considered a person under the Florida Wrongful Death Act. However, the mother may still have a personal injury claim for her own physical injuries and the associated emotional distress caused by the negligence. The Altman Law Firm can evaluate the circumstances to determine the appropriate legal action for the parents.
