Orlando Wrongful Death Attorneys

    A unique and challenging kind of claim in tort law is the wrongful death claim. A potential wrongful death claimant
    should make sure to find an attorney who is knowledgeable and experienced in handling wrongful death cases.
    Strict time limits apply to the wrongful death lawsuits. Special rules and procedures involved in making wrongful
    death claims and the nature and extent of the damages that can be recovered in a wrongful death claim are
    different than in an injury claim. Typically, a husband, wife, children and/or parents of the deceased loved one may
    make a claim. Raymond Bodiford has successfully prosecuted many wrongful death claims.

    The following case underscores Bodiford Law Group’s experience and competence in the field of wrongful
    death:

    In The Estate of Rebecca D. and Gerald D. v. Cherokee Trucking and Cardinal Trucking, Gary D. was the husband
    for 30 years to his high school sweetheart and mother of his children, who was tragically crushed and killed by a
    semi tractor trailer/rock hauler before his very eyes. During the lawsuit, it was determined that the driver of the rock
    hauler had been operating the vehicle for up to twelve hours and had traveled a great distance. It was also
    determined that the driver had been speeding for at least 5 miles before the accident and was traveling
    approximately 75 mph in a 45 mph zone, when he apparently fell asleep or suffered highway hypnosis and ran a
    clear red light, t-boning the vehicle in which Mrs. D. was driving. The tragedy of this case was not only Gary’s loss
    of his wife, but that he also saw his wife die.

    During the litigation, Bodiford Law Group, took the legal position that Gary D. had two causes of action; one for
    the wrongful death of his wife and another personal action for negligent infliction of emotional distress. Just months
    before a time certain jury trial, the case settled for $2,250,000.00. This settlement has been reported to the Florida
    Jury Verdict Reporter and is believed to be one of the largest wrongful death settlements of its kind in Putnam
    County/Palatka Florida.
