Claiming Wrongful Death Damages after a Tragic Accident in Texas

Almost all traffic accidents are preventable. When an accident happens and results in injury and death, usually someone’s negligence is to blame. When your loved one is the victim of that negligence, you could hold the negligent party financially accountable for the irreparable harm they have caused you through a successful wrongful death claim.

But Texas law won’t require the person whose negligence led to your loved one’s death to pay you anything unless you can adequately prove the required elements of a claim (legal duty of care, breach of that duty, causation, and damages). Let’s take a closer look at the damages you might claim in a wrongful death case.

Your wrongful death damages might include these items:

• Funeral expenses for your loved one.
• Your family member’s medical expenses from the accident up until the time of death.
• Loss of the income or financial support provided by your deceased loved one.
• The value of the loss of your family member’s companionship.
• Mental and emotional anguish from the loss of your loved one.
