Legal Question in Legal Ethics in Florida
My brother calls every day but he went 3 weeks without calling so I went to his apt complex and there was no answer at door. I then went down to weekend manager on duty. She said only maintenance can go in and they don't come in til monday. I gave my phone number. When they called on mon they said he was dead. The med examiner said he was dead 2 days. When I talked to full time manager she said the weekend manager had the authority to go in but apparently didn't know. My brother might have still been alive when I first checked on him. Do I have a case?
1 Answer from Attorneys
There are many more details to know before an answer can be provided. How did he die? What was wrong? Would he have survived beyond the 2 days if you entered the apartment earlier? what would his condition have been even if you got there? How old was he? did he have children? a wife? who are his survivors? seek legal guidance from an attorney who handles wrongful death cases. You listed legal ethics as the are of law but that is incorrect.
