Austin Wrongful Death Attorney
Recover Compensation for the Loss of Your Family Member
The worst accidents that can possibly happen are those that end a life.
One person's negligence can cause an accident that cuts another person's
life short, leaving the family and loved ones of the deceased to mourn
their tragic loss and incur substantial financial damages in the form
of medical treatment prior to the death or funeral expenses as well. Perhaps
you are the family member or dependent of someone who has recently been
killed in an accident. If so, you have come to the right place for help.

the liable party accountable for his or her actions and for your damages.

- Medical bills accrued before the victim's death

- Loss of income
- Loss of companionship / consortium
- Grief counseling fees
- Pain and suffering

death. You must also be able to prove that your loved one's death
was the direct result of the accident and that he or she was not responsible
for causing the accident. An

amount of your damages.
