What Damages Can You Recover after the Accidental or Wrongful Death of a Loved One?
If you’ve had a family member die in Texas because of the carelessness or wrongful act of another person, it’s essential that you know what types of compensation are available in a Texas wrongful death lawsuit. While no amount of money can undo what has happened, you have the right to hold the wrongdoer accountable for all your losses. The Law Office of Michael R. De La Paz can help.
Getting All the Compensation Available to You in a Texas Wrongful Death Lawsuit
When your loved one has died in an accident, you have the right to pursue compensation for a wide range of losses. While you can pursue damages when the death was intentionally caused, more often your wrongful death claim will be based on allegations of negligence. To recover, you must show that the person’s death will cause you to suffer “actual” losses. Among those actual losses are:
- Loss of the financial support the deceased would have provided you
- Loss of the care, maintenance, advice, counsel and support the deceased would have provided
- Mental or emotional pain and suffering caused by the wrongful death
- Any lost inheritance, including what the decedent might have put into an estate with a normal life expectancy
- Funeral and burial costs
- Any medical bills incurred by the deceased as a consequence of the accident, but not reimbursed by insurance
