Wrongful Death Attorneys

Dealing with the loss of a loved one can be devastating. If someone else’s negligence caused your loved one’s death, the devastation of your loss could get worse. In this situation, you may need to file a wrongful death lawsuit. Here are the facts you need to know about wrongful deaths and how to find the best wrongful death attorneys for your legal needs.


What Is Wrongful Death?

Wrongful death occurs when an individual is injured and results in death due to the misconduct or negligence of another party. The beneficiary or dependent may be eligible for monetary damages.

Wrongful deaths can occur in various situations, including:

  • Emergency room medical malpractice
  • Anesthesia malpractice
  • Vehicle accidents
  • Truck accidents

Emergency room medical malpractice

This type of malpractice derives from the negligence of hospital workers in the emergency room, including surgical errors, prematurely discharging a patient, or misdiagnosing a health condition.

Anesthesia malpractice

This malpractice is the result of the negligence of an anesthesiologist who administers a fatal dose of anesthesia or fails to ensure that medical staff follow correct protocols.

Vehicle accidents

This type of accident malpractice occurs when automobile companies can be held responsible for defective automobile parts and products.

Truck accidents

Truck accidents are another type of accident malpractice where trucking companies can be held accountable due to their employee’s negligence to follow trucking regulations.


Wrongful Death Compensation

In Texas, by law, the heirs of a family can file a wrongful death lawsuit in the event someone else’s negligence causes their loved one’s death. When courts are determining the damages sustained in a wrongful death lawsuit, courts consider:

  • Loss of companionship
  • The amount earned by the deceased
  • The savings of the deceased
  • The degree to which the surviving family members were financially dependent on the deceased
  • Expenses incurred by the survivors for the purpose of medical and funeral costs
