Wrongful Death & Catastrophic Injury Attorney in Florida

What Are Catastrophic Injuries?

Catastrophic injuries are those that permanently alter a person’s life—spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, amputations, severe burns, or multiple fractures. These injuries can mean a lifetime of medical care, rehabilitation, or the inability to work. Calculating compensation means looking far ahead: future medical costs, home modifications, assistive equipment, and lost earning potential. Our team works with medical and economic experts to ensure every need is accounted for.


If your family is facing a devastating loss or life-changing injury, you deserve answers, support, and real help. Aaron Feuer Law guides families and survivors through wrongful death and catastrophic injury claims—cases that demand experience, compassion, and a firm committed to fighting for your future.

Understanding Wrongful Death Claims

A wrongful death claim arises when someone dies due to another’s negligence or wrongdoing. In Florida, certain family members—spouses, children, or parents—may seek compensation for the losses they’ve suffered: lost support, companionship, funeral expenses, and emotional pain. Wrongful death cases are governed by the Florida Wrongful Death Act, which sets limits on who can recover and what damages may be available. Our role is to make sure every possible benefit is pursued for those left behind.

  • Who can file a wrongful death lawsuit in Florida?

    Under Florida law, certain family members—including spouses, children, and parents—may file a wrongful death lawsuit if their loved one’s death was caused by someone else’s negligence or wrongdoing. The claim is usually filed by the personal representative of the deceased’s estate on behalf of eligible survivors.

  • What is considered a catastrophic injury in legal terms?

    A catastrophic injury is one that results in permanent disability or a dramatic loss of quality of life, such as paralysis, traumatic brain injury, or amputation. These cases often involve complex medical evidence and require detailed future care planning.

  • How is compensation calculated in wrongful death and catastrophic injury cases?

    Compensation considers immediate and future losses: medical bills, lost wages, funeral expenses, loss of companionship, and the cost of lifelong care. We work with economists and life care planners to project the true value of your case, ensuring nothing is overlooked.

  • What is the statute of limitations for filing these cases in Florida?

    For most wrongful death and catastrophic injury cases in Florida, the statute of limitations is two years from the date of death or injury. However, every case is unique, so it’s important to consult a lawyer promptly to protect your rights.
