Common causes of wrongful death in Plano include:
According to the Texas Department of Public Safety (TXDOT), 3,610 people lost their lives in motor vehicle accidents throughout the state in 2019. If you lost your loved one in this situation, we must demonstrate how another party (like a motorist) acted negligently.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) notes that over 800,000 people are hospitalized each year after falling. Many of the people who are injured in slip and fall accidents are seniors. To recover compensation in this type of case, we will need to show that the property owner knew or should have known about a hazard on the premises but did not address it.
The Department of Labor (DOL) reports that the construction industry is one of the most dangerous workforces. In 2019, one out of every five worker fatalities were in the construction industry. If you lost a loved one to a construction accident, our team can help determine who should be held responsible for your damages.
Some dog bites can be fatal. Our team can identify the dog’s owner and help you pursue compensation accordingly. If a stray dog bit your loved one, we may be able to hold a government municipality responsible.
If your loved one passed away due to an oilfield accident, our team can determine the cause of your loved one’s passing and pursue compensation from the liable party. The liable party in your case will rest on how your loved one passed away.
For instance, if a piece of machinery backfired, leading to their death, you could pursue compensation in the form of a product liability claim. However, if another employee’s negligence led to their passing, you could sue them.
