Dealing with Insurance in Florida
What insurers won't tell you after a wrongful death
Every adjuster's job is to close your claim quickly and cheaply. Before signing anything or giving a statement, understand how the process works in Florida.
Don't accept the first offer
Initial offers are typically 10–30% of fair value. Insurers anchor low and expect negotiation; represented claimants recover materially more on average.
Document everything
Photos of the scene, medical bills, repair estimates, lost-wage statements, and a daily pain journal create the evidentiary record wrongful death cases need.
Watch the medical lien
Health insurers and Florida Medicaid may assert liens against your recovery. Counsel negotiates these down — often substantially — at settlement.
Settlement Guidance
Typical wrongful death settlement ranges in West Palm Beach
Every case is unique — but reported Florida verdicts and settlements cluster into the tiers below. Use them as a directional benchmark, not a quote.
| Injury Tier | Typical Range | What It Reflects |
|---|---|---|
| Minor Injuries | $398K–$955K | Soft tissue, short recovery, no permanent impairment. |
| Moderate Injuries | $1.3M–$3.5M | Fractures, surgery, extended treatment, lost income. |
| Severe / Catastrophic | $4.8M–$19.1M+ | Permanent disability, brain/spinal injury, future care. |
How value is calculated: Medical specials (past + future) + lost income + property damage, multiplied by 1.5–5× for pain and suffering depending on severity, permanence, and liability clarity. FL comparative-fault rules can reduce recovery by your percentage of fault.
