It
is hard for surviving members of a family to fully explain the deep mental
anguish that is inflicted by careless driving when it results in wrongful death.
In Florida each year thousands of people are killed due to careless driving of
one sort or another.
When a loved one is killed, often family members feel that money cannot in any
way compensate them for such a tragic loss. Compassion and understanding are key
in helping such survivors. Mr. Asencio has experienced both as an attorney and
as a MADD trained victim advocate. He has been there for victims in the darkest
hour of their grief trying to give them comfort as a volunteer in criminal DUI
proceedings. Mr. Asencio has 29 years of experience in providing guidance and
legal advice to family members in wrongful death cases.
The Florida Statute of Limitations is very short. Usually any lawsuit must be
filed within two years. That means the investigation must be well underway soon
after the death.
If you or a loved one has been the victim of a fatal auto accident or a drunk
driving crash, we encourage you to contact Attorney

for a free, confidential consultation regarding your legal rights and options.
We proudly serve clients in all state and federal courts in Florida.
Depending on the circumstances of the case, the immediate family of the victim
of wrongful death may be able to seek:
-
Loss of support &
services of parent to children;
-
Loss of parental
companionship & guidance to children;
-
Mental pain &
anguish from grief over the loss;
-
Loss of the
income the person would have earned;
-
Punitive damages
in gross negligence and DUI cases.
We understand that every family may grieve the loss of a loved one in different
way and in their own time. However, it is also important to understand a
wrongful death suit in the State of Florida must be pursued within a specific
period of time from the date of the incident which led to the death. While no
amount of money can replace a loved one who was a victim of a wrongful death,
financial losses suffered because of someone else's negligence should not go
uncompensated.
Mr. Asencio is a board certified civil trial lawyer who ONLY represents the
victims of auto accidents and DUI crashes, and has NEVER represented DUI drivers
for any reason. He has represented clients in all state and federal courts in
FLorida for the past 29 years in personal injury and wrongful death related
cases.
