Fatal Auto Accidents

Being in an auto accident is a frightening experience which is made tragic when it also causes the loss of a loved one. In spite of continued safety efforts by auto and law makers, the number of deaths caused by auto accidents has steadily increased over recent years due to the increase in traffic throughout the U.S.

However, no amount of statistics or political response can ease the pain and loss caused by a fatal auto accident. The grief of losing a loved one can lead to depression and an uncertain future for the loved ones left behind, disrupting your life and the lives of your children and family.

Fatal car accidents can involve pedestrians and may be caused by any number of factors, such as drunk driving or dangerous roadways. Please see Things You Need to Know for information on what to do after a car accident.

Teens and Fatal Car Accidents

Because teens are involved in more accidents than other age groups, the loss of your son or daughter in an auto accident is a very real and painful possibility. If you have lost your teenager in an automobile accident, you should be aware that your rights are the same as for any other bereaved person. Your teenager may not have been at fault, and you would not have to make reparations for an accident caused by another person's negligence. Rather, you can file a wrongful death claim against the person who caused the accident.

Finding Legal Help

If you have lost a loved one in a fatal car accident, do not hesitate to seek out legal advice immediately. Waiting to look for help may jeopardize your rights as the victim of another's negligence. Texas also has a statute of limitations which prevents you from seeking damages more than two years after the death of your loved one.
