      “…in excess of $50k.” This language is defined by the Florida Wrongful Death statute and means at least $50,001 but can be much more.

            As someone else explained, and no one seems to care - the MINIMUM under the statute is $50k and they are almost definitely going for more.

            People keep leaving out the “at least” part of the $50k.

      Only $50K?

      What is the cost of a human life? As little as those in power can pay for it.
