¿Por qué debería confiar en nuestro bufete para que le ayude en estos momentos difíciles?
Aunque ninguna cantidad de dinero podrá reemplazar la pérdida sufrida, presentar una demanda por homicidio culposo es una forma de compensar el considerable impacto económico de la muerte de su ser querido. También brindaría a su familia la oportunidad de exigir a la parte responsable que rinda cuentas por sus actos ilícitos.
A fatal accident can leave surviving family members struggling under an unbearable economic burden. Funeral expenses can easily cost thousands of dollars, while the family may also be facing enormous medical bills.
Furthermore, the family may have been deprived of its principal source of income, in addition to the potential for lost future inheritances and services rendered to the household.
When you file a wrongful death lawsuit, your family may be able to recover compensation for all of the economic losses you have suffered. You may also be able to recover non-economic damages for your loss of love, companionship, affection, support, and protection. In cases of gross negligence or misconduct, it may even be possible to claim exemplary damages, or “punitive damages.”
Al presentar una demanda por homicidio culposo, puede solicitar una indemnización por:
Texas law limits wrongful death claims to the surviving spouse, children, and parents of the person who died. That includes adopted children and adoptive parents. Siblings cannot file, and neither can grandparents, cousins, or unmarried partners, no matter how close the relationship was.
Eligible family members can file together in one action or individually. If no eligible family member has filed within three months of the death, the personal representative of the estate may file on the estate's behalf unless the family asks them not to. A separate survival claim, brought by the estate, can recover damages the person suffered before they died.
Families may recover funeral and burial expenses, the medical bills incurred before death, the financial support and household services the person would have provided, lost inheritance, and noneconomic damages for the loss of love, companionship, comfort, and guidance, along with the family's own mental anguish.
If the death resulted from gross negligence or a willful act, punitive damages may also be available. A separate survival action brought by the estate can recover the pain and suffering the person experienced between the injury and their death.
Two years from the date of death in most cases. That deadline is strict, and once it passes the claim is generally gone regardless of its merit. A few situations change it: claims against a governmental entity require formal written notice far sooner, sometimes within six months or less; claims on behalf of a minor child may be paused until the child turns 18; and a death caused by conduct that was concealed can, in narrow circumstances, be treated differently. Because evidence and witnesses fade quickly, we encourage families to call early even if they are not ready to make a decision.
They compensate two different losses. A wrongful death claim belongs to the surviving spouse, children, and parents and compensates them for what they lost when the person died: financial support, companionship, and their own mental anguish.
A survival claim belongs to the deceased person's estate and recovers what that person themselves suffered before dying, including conscious pain and suffering, medical expenses, and funeral costs. Both can usually be brought in the same lawsuit, and pursuing both is often the difference between a partial and a complete recovery.
Usually not. The majority of wrongful death claims resolve through negotiation or mediation without a trial. We prepare every case as though it will be tried, because a defendant that believes you are ready and able to try the case negotiates very differently, but we understand that a trial is difficult for a grieving family and we will never push you toward one for its own sake. You decide whether to accept a settlement; our job is to make sure the offer in front of you is a fair one.
There is no cost to your family unless we recover. We handle wrongful death cases on a contingency fee, so there are no retainers, no hourly bills, and no fee at all if we do not win. We advance the costs of investigation, accident reconstruction, and expert testimony. Consultations are free and available 24 hours a day at (888) 273-1045, and we will come to your home if that is easier during this time.
Otra cosa a tener en cuenta al contemplar la posibilidad de emprender acciones legales por la muerte de un familiar es que la demanda por homicidio culposo va más allá del dinero. Además de reclamar una indemnización, también podemos ayudarle a responsabilizar a la parte responsable de sus acciones u omisiones negligentes.
By doing so, you can not only demand justice for the wrongdoings your family has suffered, but also protect others from similar accidents. Find out more about the benefits of suing for wrongful death and get started on your own case by contacting the Daspit Law Firm for a free case consultation.
