In the immediate aftermath of the loss of your loved one, likely the last thing on your mind is retaining legal counsel. The days, weeks, and months following an unexpected death can be stressful and overwhelming.
An attorney can help you understand your rights if your family member died in a car wreck that was caused by another person’s negligence. In many cases, an attorney may be able to pursue damages through a wrongful death lawsuit. If successful, compensation may be provided to help cover economic and non-economic losses.
There is no amount of money that will ever compensate you for the loss of your spouse, child, or parent. A wrongful death lawsuit is designed to help ease the financial hardship created by your unimaginable loss and to hold a negligent party liable for their wrongdoing.
Damages in a Texas wrongful death lawsuit may include:
An attorney can help determine the amount of damages to ask for in a wrongful death lawsuit related to the loss of your loved one. If the death was caused by a person’s willful act, omission, or gross negligence, you might be entitled to exemplary or punitive damages.
In Texas and all jurisdictions, you only have a limited amount of time to file a lawsuit based on the wrongful death of your loved one. Texas law requires that you file a claim within two (2) years of the date of death.
Consulting with an attorney immediately after the accident can ensure that you meet all legal deadlines. An experienced lawyer will walk you through the legal process and ensure that you receive the help you need to get through this challenging time.
