Rowlett, TX Wrongful Death Lawyers

Supportive Rowlett Attorneys for Wrongful Death Cases in Texas

If you have suffered a death in the family due to another person's negligence, you deserve justice and a fair remedy. While nothing can measure up to the value of a human life, you may be entitled to significant compensation through a wrongful death claim. A Rowlett personal injury attorney can walk you through the steps of filing a claim and help you take legal action against the party who was responsible.

At Burress Injury Law, we are sensitive to the needs of our clients who are in mourning. We will take on the work of gathering evidence for your claim and negotiating for compensation, giving you the space to grieve in peace.

Wrongful Death Claims We Handle

We represent clients cases involving fatal accidents and injuries, including:

• Motor Vehicle Accidents: We can help you file a claim for any auto accident that resulted in death. Motorcycle accidents and truck accidents in particular have a higher-than-average risk of fatalities. We can also help you take legal action for products liability in auto accidents resulting in wrongful death, like faulty air bags.
• Premises Liability: If someone you love was killed due to a hazard on somebody else's property, you may have grounds to file for a wrongful death claim on the grounds of premises liability. We can handle claims involving amusement park deaths and swimming pool deaths, among others.

When you work with our firm, we will investigate the circumstances behind the death to pinpoint evidence of fault. Evidence in these claims may include witness testimony, video footage, photographs, and accident reports.

Compensation in Texas Wrongful Death Claims

In Texas, surviving family members can be compensated for a loved one's wrongful, and these family members may include the spouse, children, and parents of the deceased. These beneficiaries are the only ones who can bring a wrongful death claim forward, along with the executor of the deceased person's estate.

The compensation you may receive in a wrongful death claim will factor in all the ways your loss has affected you. For instance, if your loved one supported your household financially, you could be compensated for that lost income. You can also be compensated for funeral expenses related to burial or cremation, as well as non-tangible damages addressing issues such as grief or loss of companionship.

At Burress Injury Law, we want to make sure you get a full payout for your damages. We will take the time to understand what this loss has done to your family so that we can advocate for maximum compensation.
