How long do families have to file a wrongful death lawsuit in Florida? Understanding this timeline is crucial for protecting your family's future following the loss of a loved one. In Florida, families typically have a period of two years from the date of their loved one's passing to initiate a wrongful death lawsuit. If a death results from someone else's negligence or wrongful act, you might have the right to seek justice through a civil claim. Failing to meet this deadline could prevent you from recovering damages related to medical bills, funeral expenses, and the loss of companionship.
