Arlington Fatal Accident & Wrongful Death Attorney


If someone that you love has been fatally injured in a car or motorcycle wreck, or any other accident in Texas, you have the right to hire an Arllington attorney and pursue a wrongful death claim. Such a claim could never heal the emotion wounds caused by the loss of a loved one, of course, but they can help restore calm to the financial turmoil their passing may have brought you, and hopefully a successful claim can give you a little bit of a sense that justice has been served.

A wrongful death claim can be pursued by the spouse of the deceased, their parents, or their children. However, there is a two years statutes of limitations, which is the deadline within which you must contact a personal injury lawyer in order to file a lawsuit if necessary. Don't leave it too late. As with any accident case, the sooner you hire an attorney the better.

Damages which can be sought by a wrongful death insurance claim can include any medical debt related to treatment the deceased received following their accident, any funeral costs and any loss of income that the deceased might have provided to their family if they were still alive. It is not just the loss of a person, but also the loss of anything else they might have contributed to their household. Even though the basic facts of the accident which caused their death are investigated and evaluated just like any normal claim against a negligent person's insurance company.

 What if there was a life insurance policy - can I still make a claim?
Yes. If you lost a loved one due to someone else's negligence, you can still make a claim regardless of whether there is any other source of income you might have. If your spouse is killed in a traffic collision by a drunk driver for example, the fact that you have a life insurance policy has nothing to do with it. That's a collateral source. That's money coming in from someone else. The drunk driver caused the crash and you absolutely have the legal right to pursue a claim against their insurance company.
