In the United States, car accidents are caused by careless, negligent or distracted drivers all the time. Did you lose a loved one because of a car accident, workplace injury or medical malpractice? Do you know that more than 90,000 deaths occur each year due to medical malpractice alone? Or that nearly 33,000 deaths result from motor vehicle accidents?
The leading causes of wrongful death in Texas are:
- Car accidents
- Drunk driving
- Medical malpractice
- Defective products
- Unsafe premises
- Child abuse
- Nursing home or elder abuse
If a person dies because of the wrongful act of another, then the heirs and beneficiaries have a right to sue for:
- Medical expenses
- Funeral expenses
- Non-economic damages to compensate for the loss of love, society and companionship
- Pain and suffering experienced by the decedent prior to his/her death
- Payment for future services normally provided by your loved one
- Loss of future income
- Compensation for property damage when applicable
- Punitive damages if criminal negligence was involved
A wrongful death claim will serve to hold the person or corporation accountable for the loss of your loved one. It will also serve to compensate your family for their loss. And while we know that money will never replace the love, care and support that you received from your loved one, and it will never fill the void that has been left in your life, it can serve to hold the offending party accountable for the death of your loved one.
