Question: Can a wrongful death claim be settled out of court?

Asked in Miami, FL | November 22, 2024

We are in the early stages of considering a wrongful death claim after my husband's death in a car accident. I've heard that cases like this can take a long time but also that some cases are settled out of court. Is this possible, and how does it work?

Yes, wrongful death claims can be resolved out of court through settlements. In fact, many wrongful death cases are settled without proceeding to trial, which can help expedite the resolution and minimize the emotional toll on your family. While settlement can be an effective option, it is essential to approach it carefully. An experienced wrongful death attorney can negotiate on your behalf, ensure your rights are protected, and secure the compensation your family needs.
