The Colony Wrongful Death Lawyers

Supportive Attorneys for Families Affected by Wrongful Death in The Colony, Texas

Losing a loved one in a preventable accident can lead to a great deal of shock, anger, and grief. If another person's recklessness or negligence resulted in the death of your loved one, you may be able to recover compensation through a wrongful death claim. An attorney with experience in these types of cases can help you file a claim against the responsible party, allowing you to get justice and a fair remedy for your loss.

At Burress Injury Law, we represent grieving families in The Colony as they address concerns related to wrongful deaths. When you work with our lawyers, we will do everything we can to hold the negligent party or parties responsible, including taking your case to trial if a reasonable settlement cannot be negotiated. In one notable settlement, we successfully secured over $1.1 million for the grieving family of a mother of two who died in a car crash.

Causes of Wrongful Death

At Burress Injury Law, we handle a wide variety of wrongful death claims, including:

• Auto Accidents: Crashes involving cars, trucks, or motorcycles can be deadly. We can take legal measures to hold the negligent driver responsible, aggressively negotiating with insurance companies to secure the maximum possible compensation for your family.
• Premises Liability: If your loved one died in a slip-and-fall accident or due to another hazard on someone else's property, we can file a claim against the property owner on your behalf.
• Product Liability: Manufacturers can be held liable for faulty products that cause injury or death, such as an auto defect that caused a fatal crash.

We want to make sure you get a full payout for your damages, and to accomplish that, we will launch a full investigation into your case to secure any and all available evidence.

Compensation in a Wrongful Death Claim

We know that you cannot put a price tag on the value of a human life. Even so, we will strive to bring you closure with a settlement or verdict that addresses all of your damages.

Compensation in a wrongful death claim can be divided into two categories. The first category is referred to as economic damages, and it may include compensation for financial costs like funeral expenses, a loss of inheritance, or a loss of income for a household. In addition, economic damages may also factor in labor that your lost loved one would have provided, such as cooking, cleaning, or transportation.

The second category of compensation is referred to as non-economic damages. It covers unquantifiable damages like grief or a loss of companionship or consortium after a loved one's death.

Our attorneys will weigh both your economic and non-economic damages to calculate the full value of your claim. In Texas, the surviving spouse, children (biological or adopted), and parents can benefit from a wrongful death claim.
