If a loved one died in a crash with an Amazon delivery truck or van in Florida, the family may be able to bring a wrongful death claim. Florida law lets certain family members seek damages. Under Fla. Stat. \u00a7 95.11, most of these claims have a two-year filing deadline. This guide explains the basics in plain language.<\/p>\n

What a Wrongful Death Claim Means After an Amazon Truck Crash<\/h2>\n

A wrongful death claim lets a family seek damages when someone else’s negligence or wrongful act causes a death.<\/p>\n

Florida handles these claims under the Florida Wrongful Death Act<\/a>. It covers sections 768.16 through 768.26 of the Florida Statutes.<\/p>\n

Under Fla. Stat. \u00a7 768.19, when a death is caused by another person’s wrongful act or negligence, the person who would have been liable for damages had the injured person survived can be held liable for those damages.<\/p>\n

The injured person’s own claim does not continue after death. Fla. Stat. \u00a7 768.20<\/a> says that when a personal injury results in death, no action for that injury survives. In plain terms, the wrongful death claim takes its place and is brought for the benefit of the decedent’s survivors and estate.<\/p>\n

The claim is brought by the decedent’s personal representative. The decedent is the person who died. The personal representative is the person who handles the estate. That person recovers for the survivors and the estate.<\/p>\n\n

Who Can Be Held Responsible in an Amazon Delivery Truck Crash?<\/h2>\n

More than one party may be involved in one crash. The truck, the driver, and the company behind the delivery can each have a role.<\/p>\n

Many Amazon deliveries are made by drivers who work for independent delivery service partner companies. Possible responsible parties include:<\/p>\n
