Wrongful Death FAQs

How much does a Tampa wrongful death lawyer cost?

Nothing up front. Mark H. Wright handles wrongful death cases on a contingency fee — you pay no fee unless we recover compensation for you, and your initial consultation is always free.

How long do I have to file a wrongful death claim in Florida?

Florida generally gives injury victims two years from the date of the injury to file a personal-injury lawsuit (shortened from four years by a 2023 reform). Some claims have shorter deadlines, so it is important to speak with an attorney quickly.

What is my wrongful death case worth?

Every case is different. Value depends on the severity of your injuries, your past and future medical costs, lost income, and how the injury affects your life. We evaluate all of these to pursue the full compensation you are owed.

Do I have to go to court for a wrongful death case?

Most cases settle without a trial. But Mark prepares every case as if it will be tried, which is often what convinces an insurer to make a fair offer.
