Filing a Wrongful Death Claim
When negligence causes a tragic accident, surviving family members may have legal recourse. Under Texas law, if someone’s wrongful actions or reckless behavior led to the death of a loved one, the family may be entitled to file a wrongful death claim. These claims can help alleviate the financial burdens caused by such a loss, which often include funeral expenses, the loss of future income, the loss of companionship, and the emotional distress of losing a loved one.
In tragic accidents like the one on I-30, it’s crucial to understand the legal options available. An experienced Texas car accident lawyer can guide grieving families through seeking compensation and holding responsible parties accountable. While no amount of money can make up for the loss of a loved one, a wrongful death claim can provide the financial support needed to navigate the challenges ahead and help ensure that justice is served.
