Wrongful Death Attorney in San Antonio
Compassionate Legal Advocacy for Families in Texas
Wrongful death is the death of a person as a result of the negligence of another person or entity. When someone dies as a result of negligence, their surviving family members may be able to file a wrongful death lawsuit.
A wrongful death lawsuit can help the family members of the deceased person recover damages for their losses. Damages that can be recovered in a wrongful death lawsuit include: Medical expenses; Funeral expenses; Loss of income; Loss of companionship; loss of household services; and pecuniary losses. A wrongful death lawsuit can also help the family members of the deceased person bring closure and accountability.
Wrongful death claims are dictated by state statute. Only surviving spouses, parents, and children may bring wrongful death claims. This means long-term significant others may not have a claim because they are not legally married. However, Texas recognizes common law marriage, which means holding each other out to be married in the eyes of the public and living in the same household.
Wrongful death claims are separate and apart from survival claims, also dictated by state statute. Survival claims are typically brought on behalf of the decedent's estate or heirs.
If your family member has suffered a wrongful death, you need an experienced trial litigator on your side to help. Call us today at (210) 361-9796 or fill out our online form to get started.
