Texas Wrongful Death Attorney
Have you lost a loved one in a fatal accident?
In the state of Texas, should you lose a loved one because of the actions of a third party, you may seek what is known as a wrongful death claim to compensate for the losses that you suffered as a result of the death. Regardless of whether the death was caused by negligence, recklessness or even intentional actions, the surviving spouse, children and parents are permitted to take action. This is similar to a survival action in which a decedent who was injured in the same action that caused the death is also permitted to seek damage to cover these losses; these claims are often sought together and do not override one another. The compensation sought for a wrongful death does not extinguish the losses sought for a survival action and vice versa.
The decedent(s) seeking the wrongful death claim can seek damage that includes the loss of companionship, damage to cover mental anguish, value of the deceased's services, value of their financial contributions, as well as the possible loss of inheritance and / or punitive damages. As these are complex cases, it is encouraged that should you be facing a legal action of this nature that you do not hesitate to get the involvement of an experienced Texas personal injury lawyer who can help. When you have so much on the line, you deserve to be represented with reliable legal aid so that your best interests are always protected.
