Losing a loved one due to someone else's negligence is one of the most devastating experiences a family can endure.

Mill Stone Legal Group guides families through the wrongful death claim process in Coral Springs with compassion, clarity, and aggressive legal advocacy from the very first call.

(754) 227-1610Under Florida Statute 768.21, wrongful death is defined as a death that results from the wrongful act, negligence, default, or breach of contract of another party. When someone's carelessness or misconduct takes a life, Florida law gives surviving family members the right to pursue civil action against the responsible party — not just for financial recovery, but as a means of holding that party accountable for what happened.
The wrongful death claim process begins with consulting a qualified attorney who can evaluate the merits of the case and identify the evidence needed to establish liability. From there, families must gather medical records, accident reports, witness statements, and any other documentation that supports the claim. The case must then be filed within Florida's statute of limitations — missing that deadline can permanently forfeit a family's right to compensation. Mill Stone Legal Group guides families through every step of this process, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks during an already overwhelming time.
Every wrongful death case is different, but the path forward follows a clear set of steps. Mill Stone Legal Group handles each one personally on behalf of grieving families.
Attorney McGuigan meets with your family at no cost to evaluate the circumstances of your loss, explain your legal rights, and outline the path forward — with no pressure and no obligation.
We gather medical records, accident reports, witness statements, and expert testimony to build the strongest possible case establishing the other party's liability.
We work to prove that the responsible party owed a duty of care, breached that duty, and that the breach directly caused your loved one's death — the three elements required under Florida law.
We account for all recoverable damages — economic and non-economic — to ensure your family is not shortchanged by a quick settlement that fails to reflect the true extent of your loss.
Florida's statute of limitations for wrongful death claims is two years from the date of the incident. We ensure all filings are completed accurately and on time so your family's rights are fully protected.
We negotiate aggressively with the responsible party's insurer to pursue a fair settlement. If they refuse to offer what your family deserves, we are fully prepared to take the case to court.
Florida law recognizes that the loss of a family member carries both financial and emotional consequences that can reshape a family's life entirely. Wrongful death compensation is designed to address both dimensions — the tangible costs that land on your doorstep and the immeasurable impact on your daily life and relationships.
Attorney McGuigan evaluates every wrongful death case for its full value, pursuing all available categories of compensation on behalf of surviving family members. No two cases are the same, and the damages recoverable depend on the specific circumstances of the loss and the relationship of surviving family members to the deceased.
When you contact Mill Stone Legal Group, you speak directly with Attorney Matthew R. McGuigan — not a receptionist, not a paralegal, and not a case manager. Matthew understands that wrongful death cases are not just legal matters. They are deeply personal, and families deserve an attorney who treats them that way from the very first conversation.
Mill Stone Legal Group offers a free case evaluation with no financial obligation. During that consultation, Matthew will review the circumstances surrounding your loved one's death, explain what a wrongful death claim in Florida involves, and give your family an honest assessment of your legal options — with no pressure to commit to anything. If you choose to move forward, Matthew handles every aspect of the case personally: investigating the incident, gathering evidence, communicating with insurers, and fighting for the maximum compensation your family is entitled to receive.
Throughout the process, your family will have direct access to Matthew at every stage. Every strategy decision and every settlement discussion goes through your attorney directly. That level of personal commitment is what separates Mill Stone Legal Group from larger firms where clients become case numbers. For families in Coral Springs and throughout Broward County, it makes a difference that matters. Learn more about our full range of personal injury services.
The financial impact of losing a loved one can be staggering. Beyond the grief, families are suddenly faced with medical bills, funeral expenses, and the loss of income that the deceased provided. Wrongful death compensation is not about placing a dollar value on a life — it is about making sure your family is not left to absorb a financial catastrophe that someone else's negligence caused.
Ultimately, pursuing a wrongful death claim is an act of justice — for your family, and for your loved one. Mill Stone Legal Group is here to make sure that pursuit is handled with the care, competence, and urgency your family deserves.
In Florida, the statute of limitations for wrongful death claims is generally two years from the date of the incident that caused the death. Missing this deadline is not a procedural technicality — it can permanently eliminate your family's right to pursue any compensation, regardless of how strong your case may be. There are limited exceptions, such as cases involving minors or situations where the responsible party was not immediately identifiable, but these must be assessed by an attorney on a case-by-case basis.
Acting quickly is critical for another reason as well: evidence deteriorates, witnesses become harder to locate, and surveillance footage gets deleted. The sooner Mill Stone Legal Group is engaged, the stronger your case will be. If you have lost a loved one due to someone else's negligence, do not wait to find out where you stand legally. Call (754) 227-1610 for a free case evaluation today.
