When a catastrophic motor vehicle accident occurs, people are at risk for sustaining serious injuries. And, in some unfortunate cases, people may even die as a result of a crash. After a person loses his/her life during an auto accident, and the accident is believed to have been caused by another person’s negligence, the death may be classified as wrongful. This means that the deceased person’s survivors may be allowed to file a wrongful death claim for the loss of their loved one.

Filing a Wrongful Death Claim

In the state of Texas, in order for families to successfully file a wrongful death claim, they must be able to sufficiently prove the following:

the deceased person was an immediate family member such as a spouse, parent, child or sibling
the deceased person died due to another person’s negligent actions
another person was in fact negligent and liable
if the other person had acted with the standard degree of care, the accident and death would not have occurred

If families are able to prove all of these elements, they stand a great chance of being successful with their wrongful death claims. They may then be able to collect compensation for: the deceased’s funeral and burial expenses, the deceased’s medical expenses, loss of financial support, loss of companionship, property damage and emotional pain and suffering. When people are ready to pursue a wrongful death claim to recover damages, it is always advisable that they hire an experienced personal injury lawyer, like the lawyers at The Cochran Firm.
