Personal Injury Attorney | Wrongful Death Claims
It is a devastating tragedy to lose someone in an accident or other unexpected disaster. As events begin to sort out and the discovery is made that your family member died unnecessarily, you may want to seek legal counsel with a personal injury lawyer.

What if a fatal accident happened in the workplace?
If you have lost a loved one in a work-related accident, you may have the opportunity to pursue compensation in one of two ways: workers’ compensation benefits or a negligence lawsuit. In the state of Texas, employers are not required to provide their employees with workers’ compensation insurance. This does not mean that all businesses choose not to, however, so you should not hesitate to find out what options are available to you. If your family member was afforded these benefits, you may be able to secure compensation for lost income and burial expenses. If you can prove that the accident was caused by someone else’s negligence, however, you may have grounds to pursue a wrongful death lawsuit against the responsible party.
