Fatal Car Accidents in Texas
In 2022, more than 4,400 people died as a result of automobile collisions in Texas. The vast majority of these accidents were entirely preventable. We continue to see innocent people lose their lives in accidents caused by speeding, distracted drivers, or failing to yield to others.
After losing a loved one in a fatal collision, your family may be able to take legal action. It is crucial that you have a thorough investigation performed to identify who caused the accident to occur. When it comes to recovering compensation for your losses and damages, such as funeral costs and lost earnings, you must be able to prove that negligence played a role at the time of the accident.
This is done by showing that the driver of the at-fault vehicle owed your loved one a duty of care that they breached. As a result of the breach, a crash took place that killed your loved one, and you have suffered damages.
