Fatal Car Accidents in Texas
Every day, more than ten families in Texas face the heartbreak of losing a loved one to a car accident. These tragedies, which add up to thousands each year in our state, are often due to careless driving.
Sadly, many of these accidents could have been avoided, leaving families grieving over the loss of loved ones taken too soon because someone chose not to drive safely.
If you’ve lost someone close to you in such an accident, you have the right to file a wrongful death lawsuit against the person responsible. Winning compensation hinges on your ability to show that negligence led to your loss.
Understanding Negligence in Wrongful Death Claims
In Texas, you’ll need to prove that the other driver’s failure to take reasonable care resulted in a breach of their duty, which directly caused the fatal accident.
It’s crucial to demonstrate that this lapse in responsibility was the clear cause of your loved one’s passing and your subsequent losses. If you can’t tie all these elements together, winning compensation becomes challenging. That’s why getting a skilled San Antonio wrongful death lawyer involved early on is so important.
