Houston Wrongful Death Attorney

As a legal term, wrongful death refers to any death that results from negligence or unjust action. As used in everyday conversations, wrongful death refers to the type of civil lawsuit most often made by a surviving family member on behalf of the deceased to seek compensation from having been damaged by the victim's death. Since a dead person cannot file suit, the civil action is initiated by a spouse, parent or child who is seeking compensation from the party whose negligence or actions caused the death. If you've experienced a devastating loss of a loved one, contact Waldman Law Firm to speak with a Houston wrongful death attorney about your wrongful death claim.

In a wrongful death case, the burden of proof is twofold. The first proof for your wrongful death lawyer to present is that the claimed negligence did contribute to the cause of death. The second proof for your wrongful death lawyer to present is that the spouse, parent or child suffered damages because of the death. A wrongful death attorney can help to protect their client's rights and help their client obtain a fair restitution for their personal loss. Once a wrongful death case has been well documented and legal precedence stated, a settlement is usually reached without a court trial. Let Houston personal injury lawyer Steve Waldman help you with your wrongful death lawsuit.

Your Wrongful Death Claim

When the life of an immediate family member has been cut short by the negligence of another person or company, by a product defect or by a dangerous condition of property, you may have a valid wrongful death claim. A case evaluation may be the last thing on your mind right now, but you may be entitled to damages for loss of financial support, loss of relationship with the deceased, as well as the mental anguish of dealing with the death of a family member. You need the advice of a Texas wrongful death attorney or personal injury lawyer to determine the validity of your claim. Contact Waldman Law Firm to speak with a wrongful death attorney.

Settlement for Your Wrongful Death Claim

A settlement for a wrongful death claim can occur at any time after the victim's fatality, during your attorney's discovery process, once the lawsuit has been filed, during the mediation process or after the jury has made a decision concerning your claim. Wrongful death attorneys help family members determine a monetary amount for the recovery of losses based on the damages sustained from the negligence, unreasonable act or lack of actions that caused your loved one's death. To speak with a wrongful death lawyer, contact Waldman Law Firm in Houston, Austin, Beaumont or Pasadena, Texas.

In most wrongful death cases, your claim should be settled without having to present your case in a courtroom. The actual settlement will occur after the documented case has been presented during negotiations with the defendant's insurance company. In certain situations, it may be in the best interest of the parent, spouse or child for the case to go before a jury and your wrongful death lawyer may seek punitive damages, in addition to reparation, based on the components of your wrongful death lawsuit. Never take on the big insurance companies alone. Contact Waldman Law Firm to speak with a Houston wrongful death lawyer or personal injury attorney.
