Houston Wrongful Death Attorneys
Wrongful Death
Assistance For Life-Altering
Loss of a Loved One
The impact on surviving loved ones can be overwhelming no matter the cause of a wrongful death. The void that is felt by those who must continue on without the companionship, emotional stability and financial support of their loved one can be devastating to a family.
Though a lawsuit may not be a priority after the loss of a loved one, our Houston wrongful death lawyers can help ease the financial burden that is often left behind.
Losing a loved one is always painful, but especially tragic and senseless if someone else caused their suffering and yours.
A wrongful death claim, like a personal injury claim, is based on harm caused by the careless or reckless conduct of another party. A wrongful death can arise in many different situations, including:
- Motor vehicle accidents
- Workplace accidents
- Dangerous property conditions
- Medical malpractice
- Defective products
- Nursing home abuse and neglect
A personal representative of the victim’s surviving family member’s may pursue a wrongful death lawsuit.
HOW AN ATTORNEY CAN HELP
Compensation For
The Loss of A
Family Member
No amount of financial compensation can replace loved one lost. However, recovering damages after such a loss can help ease the financial burden that often follows the premature death of a family member. Although the level of financial compensation that can be awarded is unique in every case, some of the most common forms of recoverable damages include:
- Compensation for the lost income the deceased would have provided
- Medical bills, funeral expenses, and other expenses associated with a death
- Loss of benefits such as insurance and retirement
- Mental anguish suffered by surviving family members
- A loss of emotional support and companionship
- Loss of care, protection and guidance a child or spouse would have received from the deceased
