Losing a loved one is never easy, and the pain and grief that accompany the process can be overwhelming for anyone. When someone perishes in a motorcycle accident or other incident as a result of another person’s carelessness or negligence, however, the grief and stress you experience may also be accompanied by anger and a desire to seek justice for your loved one. In today’s blog, your Dallas, TX catastrophic personal injury attorneys discuss a person’s possible legal options following the wrongful death of a loved one, as well as what our team could do to help prioritize your best interests and obtain maximum compensation for your loss.

Defining Wrongful Death

If an individual’s death can be proven to have been avoidable or the result of the other party’s negligence, carelessness, or intentional action/inaction, there may be grounds for a wrongful death claim. In the state of Texas, a wrongful death can be described as one that occurs because of the negligent actions or inactions of another organization or person. Individuals or parties whose actions or inactions contributed to the incident and subsequent death of an individual may be held liable under Texas law.

The period following a loved one’s death is incredibly emotional and difficult, and trying to navigate the law on your own can be complicated and challenging. By seeking the help of an experienced wrongful death lawyer, you can focus on your family and the grieving process while we handle all of the facets of your legal claim. To learn more about how we can help, give our office a call.

Who Can File?

If your loved one passed before being able to file a personal injury claim, you may be able to file one on their behalf. Keep in mind, however, that not all family members are eligible to file a wrongful death claim in the state of Texas. Typically, the decedent’s surviving spouse, children, or parents may file a lawsuit for the loss of their loved on. Everyone’s situation is different, and as such, it is in a person’s best interest to speak to an attorney prior to filing their case to learn more about their options moving forward.
