Getting Answers and Compensation for Your Family
Texas wrongful death law creates legal remedies for the families of people who have been in fatal accidents caused by the negligence of others. If your loved one has been killed in a car accident, an incident of nursing home neglect, a construction accident or any other circumstance, you may be entitled to compensation.
A wrongful death claim can help you get answers about how this tragedy could have happened and what could have been done to prevent it. Our first goal is to get answers to your questions.
Your claim may result in your family getting financial help with circumstances like the loss of the deceased person's income. Board certified civil trial lawyer Mark Hefter will immediately start preparing your case for the possibility of going to court, sending a message that you are serious about getting the money damages your family deserves.
Seeking to Prevent Future Tragedies
One reason why many families file wrongful death actions is to try to make sure that what happened to their loved ones doesn't happen to others in the future. Attorney Mark Hefter is experienced at working with clients to pursue this goal.
Possible approaches include demanding, as part of the settlement of a wrongful death claim, that the opposing party change its corporate policies to avoid certain forms of dangerous conduct that can cause accidental death. Contact Mr. Hefter to discuss the goals of your wrongful death claim and how he can help you achieve them.
