Losing a loved one is never an easy thing for surviving family members to accept and deal with. This is even more true if the loved one’s death was preventable. Car and truck collisions, bicycle accidents, motorcycle accidents, slip and falls, and pedestrian accidents can all be fatal under the right set of circumstances.

If you lost a loved one in an accident that happened because of another individual or entity’s carelessness, recklessness, or negligence, you deserve to receive compensation for your loss. Although money is a poor substitute for the loss of a person whom you love, a successful wrongful death claim or lawsuit can bring about some sense of justice for you and other family members.

The knowledgeable and compassionate Brownsville wrongful death lawyers at Kenny Perez Law understand the feelings of hurt and grief that result from a loved one’s abrupt and untimely death. We make it our priority to investigate the circumstances of your loved one’s accident and pursue the monetary compensation that you need. Please speak with us today for more information about how we could assist you with every step of your Brownsville wrongful death insurance claim or lawsuit.

Persons Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim in Brownsville

A Texas wrongful death claim arises when a loved one’s death is the direct result of some negligent act, wrongful act, or omission on the part of someone else. There are several categories of surviving individuals who may be eligible to file a wrongful death claim in the State of Texas. Those individuals include the surviving spouse, children, and parents of the deceased individual. These people could file a wrongful death claim individually—or together as a group.

Moreover, if no one files a wrongful death claim within three months following the decedent’s death date, then a personal representative of the decedent’s estate can file the claim. If you lost a loved one in an accident because of someone else’s negligence, we could help you file your wrongful death claim or lawsuit and pursue the claim for monetary compensation and damages.

Proving Your Brownsville Wrongful Death Claim

In a Brownsville wrongful death claim, the claimant—or the person(s) bringing the claim—has the legal burden of proof. The elements of proof are much the same as they are in any run-of-the-mill personal injury case. Specifically, the claimant must prove that another person acted unreasonably under the circumstances, resulting in the accident that, in turn, led to the accident victim’s untimely death.

The skilled and compassionate Brownsville wrongful death lawyers at Kenny Perez Law can assist you with proving all of the legal elements in your wrongful death claim or lawsuit and pursuing a favorable result.

Statute of Limitations in Brownsville Wrongful Death Cases

Several types of accidents may lead to catastrophic injuries and damages. These injuries are especially common in motor vehicle collisions where there is significant property damage and a forceful impact. The accident victim’s body could strike something in the vehicle, resulting in a serious head injury or a broken bone.

Catastrophic injuries are also common in construction accident cases where workers are constantly around dangerous and heavy equipment and must work atop ladders and scaffolding. If a worker falls to the ground, he or she could suffer a broken bone or a serious head injury.

Catastrophic injuries are equally common among victims of bicycle, motorcycle, slips, and falls, and pedestrian accidents because these individuals have limited protection surrounding them at the point of impact. Consequently, the injuries that they suffer in an accident could be extremely serious. This is especially true if a motorcyclist or bicyclist is knocked to the ground in the accident and/or if the cyclist is not wearing a helmet at the time.

If you or a person you love has suffered a catastrophic injury in one of these types of accidents, the experienced Brownsville catastrophic injury attorneys at Kenny Perez Law will fight for your right to recover the compensation that you deserve.

Potential Wrongful Death Damages

Moreover, you could pursue economic recovery for the pain and suffering that your loved one had to endure from the time of the accident up until the time he or she passed away. Finally, if your loved one’s death resulted from some type of malicious conduct or gross negligence on the part of the at-fault individual or entity, you might be eligible to recover exemplary damages, which are “punitive damages” in other jurisdictions outside of Texas.

The knowledgeable Brownsville wrongful death lawyers at Kenny Perez Law will do everything possible to maximize the damages in your wrongful death claim, either by way of a favorable settlement or jury award in court. We can explain all of your legal options to you and help you decide on the best one for your case.
