What happens if a wrongful death is caused by a medical mistake?

When a wrongful death results from medical negligence, the case must follow the strict pre-suit requirements of Florida's medical malpractice laws (Fla. Stat. Chapter 766) in addition to the Wrongful Death Act. This involves obtaining a sworn statement from a medical professional verifying that the standard of care was breached before filing a lawsuit. These cases are highly complex and carry specific procedural hurdles. The Altman Law Firm has the resources to investigate medical records and pursue accountability for fatal healthcare errors.
