Lewisville Wrongful Death Attorney

Wrongful Death Lawyer in Denton County, TX

A fatal accident can devastate a family. Knowing that your family member would still be alive if another party had not been negligent can be extremely difficult. While no amount of compensation can truly make up for the loss of an immediate family member, a wrongful death lawsuit can provide your family with the resources you need to avoid suffering financially. Filing a wrongful death lawsuit can also hold the negligent party accountable for causing a fatality. If you tragically lost an immediate family member due to an accident caused by another party's carelessness, you are likely entitled to recover compensation. Compensation can replace your relative's lost income, cover final expenses, and more.

Types of Wrongful Death Cases We Can Help With

There are as many types of wrongful death cases as there are personal injury cases. Cases we can help with include:

• Drunk driving accidents - Sadly, collisions caused by drunk drivers are among the most commonly fatal types of motor vehicle accidents. While sober drivers often brake just before impact, reducing the severity of the collision, drunk drivers often strike other vehicles at full speed.
• Car accidents - Fatal car accidents are nearly always the result of careless driving. Types of car wrecks that are more likely than most to be fatal include head-on collisions caused by wrong-way drivers, rollover accidents caused by speeding drivers, and T-bone collisions often caused by drivers running red lights or otherwise ignoring the right-of-way.
• Truck accidents - When a big rig hits a passenger vehicle, the occupants of the smaller car have very little protection. Most smaller vehicles cannot withstand a direct hit from such a massive vehicle.
• Motorcycle accidents - Motorcyclists, sadly, are at an increased risk of being hit by inattentive or irresponsible drivers. Even when a rider is doing everything right, they have very little protection against a careless motorist.
• Bicycle and pedestrian accidents - Children are disproportionately affected by these types of accidents. Careless drivers often endanger pedestrians and bicyclists by simply failing to look out for them, even when they have the right of way at an intersection.
• Premises liability accidents - If the fatal accident took place on another party's premises, such as a public swimming pool, a store, a restaurant, or someone else's home, the property owner may be liable for what happened. If something about the premises was unreasonably dangerous, you are likely entitled to compensation.
• Defective product accidents - Some products can be dangerous, and in many cases, consumers do not know about defects until it is too late. Many motor vehicle accidents turn out to have been caused by defective auto parts, such as a brand-new tire that blows out or newly installed brakes that fail without warning.
