We understand that you may not know what caused the crash and why your loved one died in a car accident. To determine what happened and who is liable, you require an independent investigation of the accident. You should not rely on the police report, which involves minimal investigatory work, or an insurance company’s findings.
You should contact our fatal car accident attorneys to conduct an independent investigation of the crash. We have years of experience investigating car accidents and gathering extensive evidence to prove what happened and why.
When your loved one is killed in a car accident, you are going to want to know why and who is responsible. We will find out what went wrong through an in-depth investigation into the crash.
We often find evidence that another driver was careless or reckless behind the wheel. The other driver may have been on their cell phone, driving while overly tired, or made a risky turn when they should have waited. This evidence points to who is directly at fault for the crash. In most circumstances, the at-fault driver will be legally liable for compensating your family for your losses.
By hiring a fatal car accident lawyer from The Law Giant, Personal Injury & Accident Lawyers, you have an experienced and knowledgeable legal professional to gather and analyze evidence to determine who is liable for your loved one’s death. This is essential information if you wish to pursue a financial recovery for your family.
The Texas wrongful death statute is found in Chapter 71 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code. It states that a person may be liable for the damages arising from an individual’s death if that death was caused by the person’s wrongful act, neglect, carelessness, unskillfulness, or default.
If you are unsure of whether a wrongful death lawsuit is possible after losing a relative in a fatal car accident, do not hesitate to contact our fatal car accident attorneys. We will thoroughly investigate the crash and review the evidence to determine if another person’s negligence, recklessness, intentional misconduct, or failure to act caused your loved one’s death.

If you lost your spouse, parent, or child in a fatal accident that another person caused, then you can work with our fatal car accident lawyers to pursue compensation. Your financial recovery will depend on numerous factors, including each beneficiary’s relationship with the deceased, your financial losses, and how egregious the at-fault party’s behavior was.
Depending on the circumstances, we may fight for you to receive compensation for:
To discuss the potential value of your family’s wrongful death claim, do not hesitate to call The Law Giant, Personal Injury & Accident Lawyers. We will thoroughly review your claim and have an honest discussion with you regarding the maximum amount of compensation possible.
Not all family members can receive compensation after deadly car crashes. Under Section 71.004, damages recovered through a wrongful death claim are for the exclusive benefit of the surviving spouse, children, or parents of the decedent. If you are one of these individuals, then you have the right to file a wrongful death claim in Texas.
Under Texas law, if none of the surviving beneficiaries file a wrongful death action within three months of your loved one’s death, then the administrator of the decedent’s estate can file the action. It is also important to note that Texas limits who can file a wrongful death claim and benefit.
One factor that could reduce your wrongful death compensation is if your loved one is found to also have been negligent in causing the accident. In some wrongful death claims, the at-fault driver may argue that your relative was also careless or reckless behind the wheel.
If a judge or jury agrees and finds your loved one was less than half at fault, you may still receive compensation, though it will be reduced by your loved one’s percentage of fault. If your relative is found to be 51 percent or more at fault, your family will not receive compensation.
One of the most important reasons to hire a fatal car accident attorney is to represent you to an insurer. Auto insurance providers are major businesses that are notoriously difficult to deal with. Going up against an insurance company on your own is challenging and decreases your likelihood of obtaining the financial recovery your family truly deserves.
Insurers can be challenging to work with. They may make demands for extensive and repetitive documentation regarding the accident, your loved one’s injuries and death, and your financial losses.
Another issue that could arise is an insurer acting in bad faith. Under the law, insurers are required to work with claimants in good faith. Once they are aware of the crash, they must investigate the claim. Unfortunately, many insurers go outside the law and fail to do this. If the insurer fails to correct their misconduct, you may have an additional legal claim against the company.
To deal with and conquer these issues, you should work with a highly experienced and aggressive attorney at The Law Giant, Personal Injury & Accident Lawyers. We will not let an insurance adjuster make this experience any more difficult for you and your family.
