Understanding Wrongful Death Cases
Wrongful death cases are a type of civil lawsuit that seeks to hold a person or entity responsible for the death of another person. These cases can arise in a variety of situations, such as car accidents, medical malpractice, defective products, or intentional acts. If you have lost a loved one due to the negligence or wrongful conduct of another party, you may be eligible to file a wrongful death lawsuit.
At The Law Office of Andre Anziani, PLLC, we understand the devastating impact that a wrongful death can have on a family. That’s why we are committed to providing compassionate and skilled legal representation to those who have suffered this type of loss. Here are some key points to keep in mind if you are considering filing a wrongful death lawsuit:
Types of Damages in a Wrongful Death Lawsuit
When you file a wrongful death lawsuit, you may be able to recover several types of damages, including:
- Economic damages: These are damages that are meant to compensate for the financial losses associated with the death of a loved one, such as medical bills, funeral expenses, lost income, and loss of benefits.
- Non-economic damages: These are damages that are meant to compensate for the emotional and psychological losses associated with the death of a loved one, such as pain and suffering, loss of companionship, and mental anguish.
Proving Liability in a Wrongful Death Case
To win a wrongful death lawsuit, you will need to prove that another party was responsible for the death of your loved one, and that their actions were the direct cause of the death. This typically requires gathering evidence, such as police reports, medical records, and witness statements, to demonstrate that the other party was negligent or engaged in wrongful conduct.
Statute of Limitations for Wrongful Death Cases
It is important to note that there is a statute of limitations for filing a wrongful death lawsuit. In Texas, you generally have two years from the date of the person’s death to file a lawsuit. If you fail to file within this time frame, you may be barred from pursuing legal action.
