Austin Fatal Auto Accident Attorneys

Car accidents are the leading cause of accidental death, bringing pain and grief to hundreds of Texas families every year.

If a loved one has died in a fatal car accident, an SUV rollover, a collision with a commercial truck, or a motorcycle crash, you will be facing financial challenges, and we are here to solve your problems.

You may have a right to financial recovery.

Although this is a very difficult time for you and your family, take a few minutes to talk with an experienced fatal car accident lawyer so you understand your rights. While nothing can relieve the pain of loss you are feeling, the practical issues of caring for your children and family may be helped.

The Austin auto accident attorneys at O'Hanlon, McCollom & Demerath are sensitive to your concerns and the challenges facing your family. We can advocate for you with insurance companies or in court.

Wrongful Death Claims

A "wrongful" death is one that is caused by the negligent or reckless actions of another. If it can be proven that the fatal car wreck led to a wrongful death, you and your family may be able to recover:

• Funeral expenses
• Medical expenses
• Lost wages (from the time of the accident to the time of death)
• Loss of wages the deceased would likely have earned in the future
• Loss of companionship and services to the family

Get a Legal Advocate on Your Side Early

Large insurance companies have a variety of tactics to minimize the money they pay to families who have suffered a serious loss. Insurance companies are not on your side. The first thing they try to do is get families to settle quickly, before they've understood the full extent of their loss — before they've talked to a lawyer.

People who don't understand their legal rights rarely get the financial recovery they are entitled to. An experienced car accident attorney can explain if you have a case and help you understand the value of your case. We are your advocates against the lawyers who work to protect the insurance company.
