Catastrophic Injury & Wrongful Death
Representing victims of life-altering injuries and families who have lost loved ones with comprehensive legal advocacy to secure the compensation needed for long-term care and recovery.
Catastrophic injuries change lives forever. When severe trauma leaves victims facing a lifetime of medical care, disability, and lost independence, they deserve attorneys who will fight tirelessly for the compensation and accountability they need.
At Paulos Law, we represent victims of the most severe personal injuries—traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, severe burns, amputations, and other life-altering harm. We combine sophisticated legal strategy with genuine compassion to help our clients secure the resources they need to rebuild their lives.

Wrongful Death Claims
When a catastrophic injury results in death, surviving family members may have the right to pursue a wrongful death claim. These cases arise when someone dies due to another party's negligence, recklessness, or intentional actions.
Wrongful death claims can stem from vehicle accidents, medical malpractice, workplace incidents, defective products, or acts of violence. Florida law allows certain family members to seek compensation for their devastating loss.
Who Can File
The personal representative of the deceased's estate files the claim on behalf of surviving family members, including spouses, children, parents, and other dependents
Available Damages
Loss of companionship and protection, mental pain and suffering, loss of financial support, medical and funeral expenses, and loss of parental guidance
Our Approach
We handle wrongful death cases with the sensitivity and respect they deserve while aggressively pursuing the accountability and compensation your family needs
