Marianna Wrongful Death Attorney

Fighting For Those Who Have Lost Loved Ones Due to Negligence in Florida

Losing a parent, spouse, or other loved one while they were living in a nursing home is heartbreaking. When you are left with questions about whether their death could have been prevented, it can be hard to know where to turn or what to do next. 

At Perry & Young, we work with families in Marianna and across Northwest Florida who suspect neglect or abuse played a role in a loved one’s death. We take time to listen to your story, learn who your loved one was, and understand what the nursing home has told you so far. From there, we start the careful work of investigating what really happened and explaining your options under Florida law.

Our firm was built by former legal investigators, and that background still shapes how we handle every wrongful death case. We focus on collecting records and other evidence before it disappears, reconstructing the timeline of events, and identifying where the facility may have failed in its duties. We offer free case evaluations, are available 24/7, and work on a contingency fee basis, so you do not pay attorney fees unless there is a recovery on your behalf.
