Standing With You After a Tragic Loss
Losing someone you love is one of the hardest things anyone can go through. When it happens because of someone else’s careless or wrongful actions, the pain can feel even worse.
We know that no amount of money can ever make up for that loss, but a wrongful death claim can help ease the financial burden and make sure those responsible are held accountable. At The Law Firm of Oscar A. Garza, we’re here to stand with you, offering support, understanding, and a strong commitment to seeking justice for your family.
If you’ve lost a loved one because of someone else’s actions, don’t go through this alone. Let us help you fight for justice and the financial support your family needs.
What is a Wrongful Death Claim?
A wrongful death claim is a way for families to seek justice when someone’s life is taken because of another person’s carelessness or reckless actions. These cases often come from situations like:
- Car, motorcycle, or truck accidents
- Crashes caused by drunk or distracted drivers
- Workplace accidents, including construction or oilfield injuries
- Defective or unsafe products
- Slip and fall accidents on dangerous property
- Medical mistakes
In Texas, a spouse, child, or parent of the person who passed away can bring a wrongful death claim.
Types of Compensation You Can Recover
In Texas, compensation generally falls into two main categories:
Economic damages
These are the financial losses that come with losing a loved one, such as:
- Funeral and burial expenses
- Medical bills related to the final injury or illness
- Lost wages and benefits the deceased would have provided to their family
Non-economic damages
These cover the emotional and personal impact of the loss, including:
- Loss of companionship, care, and guidance
- Emotional pain and suffering for surviving family members
Punitive damages
In some cases, the court may also award punitive damages. These damages are designed to punish the wrongdoer for especially reckless or intentional behavior and to help prevent similar actions in the future.
