Wrongful Death

Texas Wrongful Death and Fatal Accident Attorney

If you have lost a loved one in a tragic and avoidable accident, get immediate and aggressive representation. At the San Antonio – based law firm of MICHAEL R. DE LA PAZ, A Professional Corporation, I combine diligence in handling your case with compassion for you and your family in a time of loss.

Managing All Aspects of Your Wrongful Death Claim

Many wrongful death attorneys focus on the issues related to one client, failing to recognize that many family members are affected by the tragic death. An experienced attorney must attend to all of those affected by the wrongful death since Texas law prefers one lawsuit is such cases. Many attorneys also fail to recover for the survival damages owed to the estate, that being the pain and suffering experienced by the deceased from the time of the wrongful act up to the time of death.

At the law firm of MICHAEL R. DE LA PAZ, A Professional Corporation, I have witnessed the emotional trauma and the financial losses resulting from the death of the primary wage earner in a family. With that in mind, I interview family members and friends to explore all aspects of the effects of the loved one’s tragic death.

Teaming with Experts to Establish Your Wrongful Death Case

While I have experience in settling and litigating wrongful death cases, I also recognize the need to bring in experts to help build your case. Professionals who can place a value on life expectancy and other economical and financial specialists can be an invaluable resource to identify the long-term and short-term financial effects of the death.

Pain and Suffering Issues

I also look at the grim events leading up to the death, whether it was instantaneous or there was pain and suffering. These issues bring emotional trauma to the surviving family members, but are necessary factors is seeking a just result.
