Wrongful Death

When an accident results in the loss of a loved one, it is often difficult to know how to begin picking up the pieces. At Guerra & Moore, we understand how emotionally exhausting this process can be. We also understand the increased stress and uncertainty the loss of a loved one can bring into your life.

For over a decade, we have helped families throughout the Rio Grande Valley gain the financial compensation they will require after these terrible accidents. In the state of Texas, family members who have a right to file a wrongful death suit include spouses, dependent children, parents of minor children, and family members who relied on the deceased for financial support.

When death is the result of an accident, negligence is not always easy to prove. The compassionate attorneys at Guerra & Moore can help you determine if you are eligible to file a wrongful death lawsuit in accidents such as defective products, automobile accidents, semi truck accidents, construction site accidents, oilfield accidents, and in instances of nursing home neglect. We will aggressively pursue the responsible party to make sure all of your needs are addressed.

Compensation in Wrongful Death Lawsuits

When you lose a loved one due to the negligent behavior of someone else, you have a right to seek compensation for a number of expenses including:

1. Medical expenses prior to death
2. End-of-life expenses
3. Future expenses the deceased would have paid for
4. Projected future income for the deceased based on salary and life expectancy
5. Emotional suffering
6. Loss of companionship

It is impossible to calculate how much your loved one meant to you and your family. We are devoted to helping your family receive as much compensation as possible to ease your burden as you enter into an uncertain future.

Wrongful death lawsuits are civil and do not rely on criminal investigations. We work closely with other attorneys in our area to make sure the responsible party is held accountable for the full extent of their actions. It is important to remember that even when a person has been acquitted of criminal charges, they may still be responsible for the monetary damages awarded in a wrongful death lawsuit.
