Florida Personal Injury Law: Government Immunity
Government immunity is precisely what it sounds like: the inability to file lawsuits against the government, government employees and government officials. This legal concept was developed to ensure that a state or federal government did not have to base policy decisions on the possible litigation of the outcome of their decisions.

It would be paralyzing, and government immunity partially protects counties, states, the federal government, courts, schools, police departments, legislatures and many other government agencies.
Florida Personal Injury Law: Wrongful Death Lawsuits
If someone dies as a result of some type of unjust action, sometimes called a tortious action, the victim’s immediate family members or the victim’s estate may be able to file a wrongful death lawsuit with the assistance of a Florida wrongful death attorney. If the defendant in a wrongful death lawsuit is determined to be liable for causing the injuries that caused the death, the victim’s family members and estate are entitled to monetary damages. As you might guess, immediate family members are the victim’s parents, spouse and children. The victim’s survivors may recover damages for several things including lost earning potential, medical and funeral expenses if paid by the deceased’s estate, pain and suffering, loss of companionship and protection and others.
