In the aftermath of losing a loved one, you should be spending time with your friends and family – not taking on the burden of a wrongful death case.
If you lost a loved one in an accident in McAllen that was caused by the negligence of another, you may be entitled to compensation.

You must be the decedent’s surviving spouse, child, or parent to pursue a wrongful death action, according to Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 71.004. Additionally, we must prove that because another party acted negligently, your loved one lost their life.
Losing a loved one not only takes a toll on your mental health, but it can also take a toll on your financial resources. Our team has recovered millions of dollars in compensation since we opened our firm in 1988. Some compensable losses in your case could include:
You deserve to put your loved one to rest without having to cut corners. This category can include compensation for:
You may be able to include other losses associated with your loved one’s funeral service in your claim.
Your loved one may have required medical treatment before they passed away. Compensation for these medical expenses can include:
We can take into account your loved one’s health insurance policy to arrive at an accurate estimate.
If you lost your spouse due to another party’s negligence, you could recover compensation for loss of consortium. This award is intended to compensate you for the loss of your partner’s affection and society.
You could recover compensation on behalf of your minor children who lost their parent.
If your loved one did various things around your home, like caring for your children or mowing the lawn, we can account for these losses in your case.
You could recover other types of losses not included here, such as loss of income and pain and suffering. It all depends on your situation. Your wrongful death lawyer in McAllen can provide more information on this matter.
Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 16.003 says that you could have as little as two years from the date of your loved one’s passing to file a lawsuit. This limit is not a long amount of time, as collecting evidence, speaking to witnesses, and identifying the cause of your loved one’s passing can take months.
Do not wait until the last minute to seek legal aid. Doing so could significantly limit your financial recovery options.
