The Impact of Premature Death on a Family
Dallas Wrongful Death Attorney
The unexpected death of a family member is so traumatic and all-consuming that it's often impossible for immediate family members to think about whether they have a legal case. It's often a friend or an extended family member that takes the initiative to learn more about a wrongful death claim or to seek information from a lawyer.
This can be tremendously helpful because there are a number of things that can and should be done early on to protect a family's right to financial recovery after a loved one is killed in a car accident, motorcycle accident, or from medical malpractice. The simple action of choosing a lawyer to protect your interest can make all the difference.
Once our attorneys are involved, we will handle all the paperwork and insurance forms. We will gather and preserve evidence. We handle everything so the family can deal with what’s most important to them right now – grieving and recovery.

Texas Wrongful Death Law
In Texas we have the "Wrongful Death Act" a legal statute that defines the kinds of damages you can seek, and who is allowed to seek compensation. Only certain family members are eligible to bring a claim.
When bringing a wrongful death case, it’s important to work with a law firm that has the resources and connections that will be needed to bring the case. Because you pay no attorneys fees unless money is recovered for you, your law firm will not recover these fees until the end of the case.
Crain ◊ Lewis, LLP works with experts from around the country, and has the resources needed to properly present your case using the latest technology and demonstrative aids. We can stand up to the large insurance companies or corporation — fighting strength with strength.
