No amount of money can make up for the loss of your loved one, but you may deserve compensation nonetheless. Under Texas law, the damages you may recover after a wrongful death claim will be catered to your specific set of circumstances. After all, when you are attempting to assign a monetary value to someone’s absence, no two cases are exactly the same.
Overall, damages will fall into two distinctive categories: economic losses and non-economic losses. You can seek economic damages for all the financial factors that followed the individual’s death. When it comes to non-economic damages, these will cover the more personal aspects of your loss, including the psychological suffering you have endured and the physical pain the person endured during their accident.
Here are some specific examples of the types of damages you may be eligible to recover:
When you hire a wrongful death lawyer at Loncar Lyon Jenkins at Loncar Lyon Jenkins, they can investigate the accident or incident, and build a strong case that will hold the negligent party liable for your devastating loss.
There are the specific rules surrounding wrongful death cases, which are described under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § Sec. 71.002. Basically, these laws state that you are within your rights to seek compensation if someone else’s negligent actions directly or indirectly led to the death of your loved one.
In the city of Frisco, Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 16.003 generally gives you two years to file a wrongful death lawsuit. This time limit begins on the day of the person’s death.
If you miss this deadline, you run the risk of losing your right to pursue compensation from a liable party through legal action. Keep in mind that we have to investigate your case and negotiate a settlement with insurers before filing a lawsuit, so you will want to give your lawyer as much time as possible. The sooner you call, the better.
Some of the people who can be held liable for a person’s death include:
We can look at the evidence of your case to determine whether one of these parties acted negligently and caused your loved one’s accident. They may have failed to follow traffic laws or maintain their premises so they are safe for guests or customers. We can get to the bottom of who is responsible for your losses.
Wrongful death cases are designed to benefit the surviving spouse, children, or parents. If a will names a representative of the deceased, then they will collect the settlement and distribute it to the surviving family members. If there is no representative, the court can appoint one. A spouse, child, or parent may be appointed.
At Loncar Lyon Jenkins, our aim is for your family to suffer no further losses as a result of the accident that claimed your loved one. We offer free consultations to help you determine your legal options and how much your case may be worth.
From there, we can handle your case on a contingency-fee basis, meaning we will not collect our attorney’s fees unless we secure a settlement or court-awarded offer on your behalf. You have the right to legal representation, and with us, you do not have to risk more financial loss to hire one of our lawyers.
