What is a Wrongful Death Claim

Under Florida law, wrongful death occurs when someone’s negligent or intentional actions result in another person’s death.

I could not be happier with the legal representation provided by Travis Stulz with BCN. He was knowledgeable, personable and understood the stress and pain I was experiencing, and made me feel valued and supported throughout the entire process. His paralegal Sandra P. was fantastic. She was exceptionally prompt in returning phone calls, texts and emails, and kept me consistently updated on my case. Thank you both for your help and support.

BCN was a God send. Although I’m married, my husband did not file. We had to go through the means test which was stressful but Ms. Carol handled it efficiently and with kindness. I never was made to feel bad for filing for bankruptcy. I was again nervous when it came time for my meeting of the creditors but again, Ms. Carol was so incredibly supportive. I should also mention that BCN is a well seasoned law firm and should you find yourself in need of their services, you will not regret your decision.

We were recently in an accident and needed an attorney. A good friend referred us to Travis Stulz and the BCN team. Travis and his Paralegal Sandy Patercsak were absolutely amazing. We felt they were very responsive and genuinely cared about us and how we were doing after the accident. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs a great attorney who really cares about their clients.
