DALLAS – FORT WORTH TEXAS WRONGFUL DEATH ATTORNEY

After experiencing the sudden loss of a family member due to the negligence of another person or corporation, the last thing on your mind is hiring a lawyer. It’s important that you have someone who will protect your interests because the wrongdoers have already started their investigative process with hopes of minimizing your financial recovery.

In Texas, a surviving spouse, children and parents may be entitled to compensation when your loved one dies due to negligence of others. A person who prevails on a wrongful death claim may be able to recover actual damages and exemplary damages.

Actual Damages include:

• Financial losses, such as medical and funeral expenses, the loss of the deceased person’s earning capacity and the value of the care, maintenance, services, support, advice and counsel he or she would have provided to family members;
• Mental anguish, which refers to your emotional pain, torment and suffering from the death of your family member;
• The loss benefits, such as insurance, from the death;
• Loss of love, comfort, companionship, suffered by the survivor of the decedent;
• Loss of inheritance from an untimely death;
• Punitive damages, intended to punish wrongdoers and prevent them from harming others
