Our Lawyers Represent Families Who Lose Loved Ones
Few things in life are more painful than to lose a loved one in an accident that was caused by the careless or wrongful actions of another person. For families who are dealing with the emotional and financial aftermath of the loss, our legal system offers a way to hold the negligent party accountable.
At the Speights & Worrich Trial Lawyers, our lawyers represent families who have lost loved ones in San Antonio, Houston/Galveston, the Rio Grande Valley, and other areas of central, south, and southeast Texas. We have the experience and resources to investigate fatal car accidents, medical malpractice, trucking accidents, construction site accidents and other types of negligence leading to wrongful death.
Here are some examples of the clients we have represented or are currently representing:
- The estate of a baby boy who is alleged to have been fatally injured by a foster parent after he was taken from his birth parents by Texas Child Protective Services.
- A child who lost a parent in an airplane accident
- The children of an elderly woman who died after falling on a dangerous step at her apartment complex
- The husband of a woman who died of complications from injuries she received after falling off the curb at a national retail store after she was given a wheelchair with defective brakes
Who Can Recover in Wrongful Death Cases?
In Texas, surviving spouses, children and parents can file a claim to recover compensation in wrongful death cases. In addition to representing eligible claimants, our lawyers can assist you with the probate of your deceased family member's estate.
What Compensation Can Family Members Recover?
Family members can seek compensation for medical expenses, funeral expenses, lost income, loss of support and companionship and the mental anguish of losing a loved one.
In addition to family members, the deceased person has a claim that survives death.
Contingency fee representation: We handle wrongful death claims on a contingency fee basis. This means that we are only paid attorney's fees if and when we obtain money for you. If we don't get money for you, you don't have to pay us anything.
