Texas Wrongful Death Attorneys

When a person dies due to the misconduct or negligence of another person, it is considered a "wrongful death" under the law. There is a specific statute, or law, that defines what a "wrongful death" action entails. If your loved one has died under such circumstances, you and your family may be entitled to compensation. Our attorneys can help you recover the compensation you deserve.

Wrongful death cases can arise from car accidents, trucking accidents, freighter accidents, industrial accidents, missed medical diagnoses, maritime accidents, nursing home neglect, and many other causes. It is important to speak with an attorney who specializes in handling wrongful death cases who can review the facts of the case to determine whether you are entitled to compensation for the loss of a loved one.

In accordance with Texas law, damages collected in a wrongful death lawsuit may be awarded to compensate the spouse, children, or parents of a deceased person for the monetary loss they have sustained as a result of the death. Compensation amounts are based on the earnings of the deceased and their potential future earnings. Additional damages may be awarded for the survivors' pain and suffering, mental anguish, funeral and burial expenses, and what the law terms "loss of companionship and society". This basically describes the relationship one has with another family member.

We understand that nothing can make up for the loss of a loved one. However, the attorneys at the APFFEL LAW FIRM have helped families obtain a fair measure of damages and justice for the death of a loved one, and the compensation they deserve.
