Austin, Texas Wrongful Death Attorney

The grief that follows the loss of a loved one in a fatal car or truck accident or motorcycle accident or from injuries caused by defective machinery in the workplace can feel overwhelming.

Survivors want more than anything to know WHY. Why did it happen? Could it have been avoided? Who was responsible?

Even before the worst of the grief has subsided, families often find themselves faced with financial hardship as they try to pay the cost of a funeral and adjust to life without a husband, a wife, a child, or a parent.

Advocating for You against the Insurance Companies

Insurance companies are usually quick to push for an immediate settlement, often before families have fully understood the impact of their loss. If we can bring a successful wrongful death claim, you and your family may be able to receive:

• Funeral expenses
• Medical expenses
• Lost wages (from the time of injury to the time of death)
• Loss of future earnings and support of the deceased
• Loss of companionship and services

If the insurance company cannot get you to immediately settle your claim, they will waste no time putting an attorney on the case to protect themselves from paying you. It's essential that you have legal counsel to protect your interests as well.
