Bryan/ College Station Wrongful Death Attorney

If you have suffered the loss of a loved one due to someone else's actions, you know that the pain can often leave you feeling helpless and alone. Worse yet, the emotional and financial hardships that often ensue may then be multiplied by the feeling that the loss could have been prevented.

Filing Suit and Recovery

In the unfortunate situation when a loved one has suffered a wrongful death, it is generally left to the victim's family to pursue legal redress. However, in the midst of the pain suffered after such a great loss, it is often too emotionally exhausting for survivors to concentrate on their legal rights. At O'Hanlon, McCollom & Demerath our Texas wrongful death attorneys are sensitive to your concerns and will work with you to pursue the right approach to your situation.

If wrongful death can be established, the surviving family can often receive compensation for:

Funeral and 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)

How We Can Help You in your Fight against the Insurance Companies

When a wrongful death occurs, insurance companies push for an immediate and hasty settlement, before the victim's family fully realizes the consequences of their loss. When a settlement is not immediately reached, these same companies recognize the importance of aggressively defending their side of the case.

Wrongful death cases often involve corporations or individuals that are insured by wealthy insurance companies that employ experienced legal counsel. If you have lost a loved one or family member due to the wrongful conduct or negligence of another person or business, it is essential to analyze the circumstances and find out your legal rights, which can be difficult without adequate legal representation; the kind our lawyers can provide at O'Hanlon, McCollom & Demerath.
