Grand Prairie - Arlington - Irving , Texas Wrongful Death Attorney

If you have suffered the death of a loved one because of someone else's actions, your pain may be multiplied by the knowledge that your loss could have been prevented. The emotional and financial hardships that often ensue can also leave you feeling helpless and alone.

Filing Suit and Recovery

In the tragic case of a wrongful death, it is usually up to the victim's family to commence a lawsuit. However, amidst the pain and suffering experienced following the loss, it is often too exhausting and emotionally devastating for families to concentrate on legal procedures. The Texas wrongful death attorneys at O'Hanlon, McCollom & Demerath are sensitive to these situations and will work with you to craft the best approach to your case.

If wrongful death can be proven, the bereaved may be able to receive the following forms of compensation:

Funeral expenses

Medical expenses

Lost wages (from time of injury to death)

Loss of earning capacity

Loss of companionship and services (in the case of certain family members)

Advocating for You against the Insurance Companies

When a wrongful death occurs, insurance companies often push to settle immediately, before families of the victim can realize the full consequences of their loss. If a settlement is not immediately reached, these same companies will aggressively pursue the defense of their case.

Wrongful death cases often involve big insurance companies that can readily afford ample legal counsel. If you have lost a loved one due to the wrongful conduct or negligence of another person or business, it is important that you understand your legal rights. It is even more important to have expert legal representation; the kind we can provide at O'Hanlon, McCollom & Demerath.
