Key Valuation Factors
Decedent's age, earning capacity, and financial contributions to dependentsDegree of defendant negligence and availability of punitive damagesFlorida's $500,000 non-economic damages cap and its application to specific defendant typesQuality and completeness of economic expert testimony on lost future earningsWhether defendant is a healthcare entity, individual, or corporate actor affecting jury sympathy
Key Trends & Insights
Based on the limited dataset of two 2024 Florida wrongful death cases, outcomes appear consistently substantial, with a median and mean of $12.4M and a relatively narrow range of $10.5M to $14.3M, suggesting strong valuations in recent verdicts or settlements. Both cases reflect significant awards despite Florida's $500,000 non-economic damages cap, indicating that economic damages such as lost earnings, medical expenses, and financial support to survivors are likely driving the bulk of these recoveries. However, with only two data points, these figures should be interpreted cautiously, as broader trends will require a larger sample size to draw reliable conclusions.
