answer:Yes, they probably can: “The Florida wrongful death act states that: “The action shall be brought by the decedent’s personal representative, who shall recover for the benefit of the decedent’s survivors and estate all damages, as specified in this act, caused by the injury resulting in death.” In other words, the personal representative is a person named in the victim’s will, or whoever is appointed by the court in the absence of a will. In the event that no one was specifically named in a will, or no will was available, a wrongful death claim can generally be filed by the victim’s surviving family members.” Source
