Dallas Wrongful Death Attorneys

Seeking Justice for Family Members Left Behind

Have you lost a loved one due to the negligent actions of another individual? At MR Civil Justice, we know how to handle wrongful death claims and help families of fatal accidents seek compensation. We know that it is important to make sure that justice is served, and by taking legal action against the party responsible for your loved one’s death, we can help accomplish this goal.

If the deceased individual was the sole or main provider for the family, compensation can be a good way to cover the lost past and future income that would have been earned. While no amount of money can make up for the loss of a loved one, it can help you move forward without financial concerns. Our Dallas wrongful death attorneys can also help with a bad faith insurance claim if the insurance company wrongfully denies your claim or offers an insufficient settlement.

Why You Need a Wrongful Death Attorney

When you’ve suffered the loss of a beloved family member or spouse, there’s little that can make up for your wounds. In some cases, however, filing a wrongful death lawsuit may bring you a measure of peace, as well as security regarding your financial future. This is especially true when no crime was committed and there is no justice to be found in the criminal courts.

Even if the defendant did commit a crime, the prosecutor’s primary goal is to uphold the law – not to ensure that you receive fair compensation. A wrongful death lawyer, on the other hand, will strive to secure financial recovery on your behalf, allowing you to spend more time with your friends and family after this traumatic experience.

Why Should I File a Wrongful Death Claim?

When you’re grieving, you shouldn’t have to worry about how you will pay your bills. Yet the average funeral with a viewing and burial now costs up to $7,000, according to the National Funeral Directors Association. In addition to the cost of honoring your loved one, you may also have to pay for any final medical treatments and doctor’s visits. If your loved one was a spouse or a parent, you may be required to pay for debts they incurred during their lives. For all these reasons, it’s a good idea to pursue a wrongful death claim if negligence contributed to your loved one’s death.

Here are the damages you may be entitled to receive after a wrongful death:

Medical bills: In a wrongful death claim, you can seek damages for hospitalizations, ER visits, surgeries, physician’s visits, medications, and any other qualifying medical bills.
Funeral expenses: Many people choose to honor their deceased loved ones with funeral services, which can be very expensive.
Non-economic damages: Non-economic damages can cover your loved one’s pain and suffering before their death. This includes both physical and emotional pain.
Loss of companionship: While no monetary gain can make up for losing companionship and comfort from your family member, you can seek damages for this kind of loss in a wrongful death claim.
Lost wages and support: If your deceased family member earned wages for your household, you could be entitled to recover for the loss of those wages.
Punitive damages: Depending on how the deceased came to die, the court may award you with punitive damages on behalf of your loved one. This is a form of compensation that punishes extremely reckless or negligent behavior, such as drunk driving.

In short, a wrongful death claim allows you to cover the financial hole that is created when you lose a loved one. It also allows you to hold the negligent party responsible for their negligence.
