When families pursue a wrongful death claim, they often seek compensation to cover the financial and emotional losses they’ve suffered due to the death of their loved one. The types of compensation available in these cases are designed to help ease the burden of these losses and provide families with the resources they need to move forward. Compensation may include:

• Medical Expenses: Costs related to any medical treatment the deceased received prior to their passing.
• Funeral and Burial Expenses: The costs associated with laying your loved one to rest.
• Lost Income and Financial Support: Compensation for the wages and financial contributions the deceased would have provided to their family.
• Pain and Suffering: Compensation for the emotional trauma and loss of companionship suffered by the surviving family members.

Depending on the circumstances of your injury, you may have multiple paths for compensation:

• Workers’ Compensation: Most Texas employers must carry workers’ compensation insurance. This provides benefits like medical coverage and partial wage replacement, regardless of fault.
• Third-Party Liability Claims: You may be able to file a lawsuit against a negligent third-party (someone other than your employer) if their actions contributed to your injury.
• Jones Act Claims: Offshore oil rig workers may have additional maritime law remedies under the Jones Act.

• Investigate the cause of your accident thoroughly.
• Help you build a strong case to prove liability.
• Handle all communications with insurance companies on your behalf.
• Negotiate aggressively for a fair settlement.
• Represent you in court if necessary.
