Mr. Abrar and his team were more than helpful, vital and supportive of not only my case but my future as well. He was responsive, knowledgeable and quick to act/deliver. 5 stars to him and his team! Even though they will NEVER represent me again, since I NEVER plan to be in criminal court again. I do wish to positively impact lives especially aspiring ones- like Mr. Abrar and his team! Thank you again.

Understanding Wrongful Death Claims in Texas

There are a few scenarios that constitute wrongful death in Texas. These include medical procedures, road accidents, or work incidents that lead to a victim’s death through negligence, carelessness, wrongful behavior, or other contributing factors. 

You can find the full guidelines listed in the Texas Wrongful Death Statute

If your family member or spouse suffered a wrongful death in any of these qualifying scenarios, you have the right to seek compensation and closure. Our team is here to help you navigate the battle ahead. 

Here are some of the laws surrounding wrongful death cases in El Paso: 

  • Survival Action - The survival statute allows the estate of the deceased to bring a lawsuit for the damages the deceased could have recovered had they lived. This includes pain and suffering, medical expenses, and lost wages that the deceased incurred before death. (Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code, Section 71.021)

  • Time Limitations - The statute of limitations for filing a wrongful death lawsuit in Texas is generally two years from the date of the deceased person's death. There are some exceptions, such as in cases of fraud or concealment. (Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code, Section 16.003(b))

There are several other laws that can play a part in Texas wrongful death cases. That’s why it’s crucial to work with an experienced wrongful death attorney who can navigate these complexities and challenge any counters with sound evidence. 

At the Law Office of Abrar and Vergara, our team is equipped to fight for you during this tough time. We build a custom strategy based on each factor of your specific case. Our attorneys handle all of the legal action so you and your family can focus on healing and coping with your loss.

The Importance of Hiring a Wrongful Death Attorney in Texas

Losing a loved one because somebody was negligent or careless is devastating. During a time like this, looking into the legal process for a wrongful death claim can be too overwhelming. Don’t worry - that’s what we’re here for you. It’s extremely helpful to have an experienced team of attorneys to guide you and deal with all the extensive paperwork of wrongful death cases while you and your family manage any resulting emotional trauma. 

Some of the benefits you receive when working with an experienced Texas wrongful death lawyer include: 

  • Expertise in Texas Wrongful Death Law - As mentioned above, wrongful death cases involve specific laws that vary from state to state. In Texas, the legal framework is complex, with strict requirements for who can file a claim, what damages can be recovered, and the deadlines for filing. Attorneys with expertise in wrongful death cases know these laws like the back of their hand, and they can navigate each complexity for you. 

  • Maximizing Compensation - One of the most crucial responsibilities a wrongful death attorney carries is ensuring you receive the compensation you deserve. This includes not only the tangible costs, such as medical bills and funeral expenses, but also the intangible losses like emotional suffering, loss of companionship, and future financial support. Insurance companies may try to offer a quick settlement that is far less than what you’re entitled to. An attorney will fight for your interests, negotiating skillfully to achieve the maximum compensation possible.

  • Providing Compassionate Support - Aside from the legal challenges a wrongful death lawyer addresses, they also provide the support and compassion you need during this difficult time. They understand the emotional toll that a wrongful death case can take on a family and are committed to handling your case with the sensitivity and care it deserves. 

At the Law Office of Abrar and Vergara, we can do all of these things and more while you work on healing and recovering. Our team works on wrongful death cases every day, and we’re equipped to build the right strategy for you.
