Compassionate Lawyers Representing Surviving Family Members in Wrongful Death Claims in Flower Mound, TX

The death of a loved one can come as a shock, especially if it resulted from a random, cruel accident. In many cases, the cause of a fatal accident can be traced back to one party's negligence. If your loved one died due to a preventable act of negligence, you may be entitled to significant compensation. A Texas wrongful death attorney can represent you in a claim against the liable party and collect evidence to support your case.

What Is a Wrongful Death Claim?

In the practice of personal injury, wrongful death claims allow surviving family members of a deceased person to recover compensation from fatal accidents caused by negligence. Payment in wrongful death claims is intended to provide the victim's next of kin with financial stability after a devastating loss. Our firm is equipped to take on a wide variety of wrongful death claims, including:

• Car Accidents
• Truck Accidents
• Motorcycle Accidents
• Premises Liability Cases
• Product Liability Cases

Sometimes, these claims involve wealthy companies and corporations that will aggressively deflect any allegations of wrongdoing. We are not deterred by powerful interests, and we will not settle for anything less than what your claim is worth.

What Damages Can I Recover From a Texas Wrongful Death Claim?

Before you pursue a wrongful death claim, you should know that only certain parties related to the deceased person can receive compensation. Specifically, only the surviving spouse, children, and parents of the decedent can be paid out for damages. However, if you are appointed as the personal representative of the deceased person's estate, you can file a claim on behalf of those family members.

Compensation for a wrongful death claim can cover different damages. Some of these damages can be quantified in money, while others are more abstract. These damages include:

• Any expenses related to the funeral, such as burial or cremation
• Loss of future income and valuable labor from the deceased person
• The costs of therapy for surviving family members
• Grief related to the loss of the deceased person
• Loss of companionship or comfort

Obstacles in a Wrongful Death Claim

Filing a wrongful death claim is not an easy process by any means. Insurance adjusters may attempt to deny your claim on arbitrary grounds or look for ways to reduce the total value of your claim. Without an experienced personal injury attorney at your side, you could be left vulnerable to the tactics of these insurance adjusters.

If you are contacted by an insurance representative asking about the accident, it is best to withhold any details until you can talk to your attorney. Any small admission of liability can be used to reduce the value of your claim.

At Burress Injury Law, we can handle all of the negotiations related to your claim. As experienced trial attorneys, we will press for maximum compensation on your behalf. If necessary, we can escalate your claim to court if the insurance company or other liable party refuses to pay for all of your damages.
