Coppell, Texas Wrongful Death Attorneys

Empathetic Lawyers Helping Families in Coppell, TX Wrongful Death Cases

The death of a loved one is undoubtedly difficult to bear—even more so if it resulted from a preventable accident. If another party caused your loved one's death through negligence, carelessness, or a plain lack of regard for life, you can file a wrongful death claim to get justice and full compensation for your loss.

At Burress Injury Law, we understand that you may need time to grieve before you consider legal action. When you work with our firm, we will handle the lion's share of the work so that you can mourn in private, working to give you a sense of closure through a fair wrongful death claim.

Causes of Wrongful Death Accidents

It is impossible to predict when and where a fatal accident might occur. At Burress Injury Law, we represent surviving family members in a variety of wrongful death cases, including:

• Car Accidents: At high speeds, a car crash can have deadly results. Drunk driving and distracted driving accidents tend to have a higher rate of fatalities.
• Truck Accidents: The speed and force of a commercial truck collision can kill on impact. These accidents are often caused by safety measures being overlooked, such as fatigued driving or excessive speeding.
• Motorcycle Accidents: Motorcyclists are placed in more immediate danger in a crash, especially in collisions with much larger vehicles.
• Products Liability: Defects in certain commercial products have the potential to kill, such as a faulty airbag in a car.
• Premises Liability: Safety hazards on somebody else's property can endanger lives, as seen in drowning incidents or fatal slip and fall accidents.

At Burress Injury Law, we are prepared to investigate the circumstances behind your loved one's death to identify the party at fault. Our lawyers will fight to hold the negligent party liable, gathering all of the available evidence to build a case for compensation.

What Compensation Can I Recover in a Wrongful Death Claim?

In Texas, you can recover damages in a wrongful death claim if you are the spouse, child, or parent of the deceased person. Note that you do not have to be related by blood if you are the adoptive child or parent of the decedent.

A wrongful death claim can cover numerous expenses related to your loved one's death, such as funeral expenses and burial rites, any lost income your loved one would have continued to provide for your family, medical expenses incurred before death, and loss of companionship. At Burress Injury Law, our lawyers can help you take inventory of your damages so that we can give you a full estimate for the value of your wrongful death claim.
