Wrongful Death Attorney

Attorneys Helping the People of Texas

The last thing that you want to think about when someone close to you dies is a possible lawsuit or settlement. It’s much more likely that you are in deep mourning and shock. You’re not pointing fingers or calling lawyers, you’re drowning in depression while at the same time arranging a funeral, supporting your family members, and trying to get your loved one’s estate in order.

However, it’s hard for you to put out of your head the simple fact that your loved one’s death could have been prevented. That they could still be with you today if not for someone else’s mistake.

The more you think about it, the more you realize that someone else’s carelessness or negligence resulted in your heartbreaking situation. Medical bills incurred before your family member’s death fill an entire shoe box, and fresh bills from the funeral and burial are already landing on top of those. Paychecks are no longer coming in to cut into the pile. The even deeper hurt than that, though, is that your loved one might have had conscious pain or suffering in their last days or moments, suffering that could have been prevented if not for the actions of the guilty individual, corporation, or entity.

Close friends and family take you aside in quiet moments and ask you, “Are you going to do something about this? Can’t you sue for what they did? Isn’t this a wrongful death case?”

It seems overwhelming to face, but it seems more overwhelming to suppress your feelings of injustice or to push your mounting financial problems from your mind.

At Fears | Nachawati, it is our job to lift the burden from your shoulders. We understand that you’re feeling a debilitating mix of sadness, anger, and stress – but we can look at your case with not only a clear head and heart but with the know-how and experience that you need to make things right again. We have dealt with cases much like yours for years and understand the obstacles and hurdles that you will face as you seek damages and try to find peace after tragedy.

How do you know if your specific case involves wrongful death? If your spouse, parent, child, or other close relative has died, and that death is the result of another’s negligence or by another’s intent to inflict harm, you could be dealing with a wrongful death suit. If this death of your loved one has caused monetary suffering for the surviving family members, you could be dealing with a wrongful death suit.

Some examples of common wrongful death causes are:

  • A fatal airplane or automobile accident.
  • Medical malpractice or surgery that leads to death.
  • Criminal acts or intentionally harmful acts that lead to death.
  • Fatal occupational or on-the-job hazards, accidents, conditions, or harmful substances.
  • Supervised activities (such as sports) or events during which there is a fatality.

There are time limits on taking these actions – statutes of limitations that will bar you from seeking retribution after a certain amount of time has passed after the initial discovery linking the death and its cause. The time for you to act is now.

It’s not just about the money, although the money is something that you deserve if your loved one was taken away from you due to the carelessness of another party. It’s also about seeking a resolution for you and your family. It’s about finding peace, it’s about healing from your loss, and it’s about preventing the person or company that caused your family member’s death from doing so again.
