Wrongful Death Lawyers in Florida

The death of a loved one is never easy to endure. This painful situation is all the more difficult to handle if the individual died as the result of the negligence of another individual or party. The Law Offices of Michael F. Guilford, P.A. are sensitive to the needs of family members that have lost a loved one in an admiralty and maritime accident. I strive to help my clients through this difficult time, while aggressively pursuing justice for the wrongful death of their loved one. I can discuss your options and how the Death on the High Seas Act (DOHSA) may apply to your case.

Though popular for vacations, cruise ships can often be the scene for a wrongful death. Negligence on the part of the ship employees, or other passengers can lead to dangerous situations that may cause catastrophic injuries and death. At the Law Offices of Michael F. Guilford, P.A. I am dedicated to investigating the situation in which your loved one died to determine where the liability rests. If I can establish liability, I will then pursue a wrongful death claim to gain compensation for the loved one's death. While compensation can do nothing to ease the passing of your loved one, it can nevertheless help alleviate any financial burden that has been placed upon you due to the unforeseen death.
