Fatal Truck Accidents in Texas

Truck accidents in Texas take the lives of hundreds of people each year. Unfortunately, these accidents take place frequently and have devastating consequences for those involved.

After losing a loved one as a result of a fatal collision, your family may be able to file a wrongful death claim against the person who is responsible. In order to prevail, you must be able to demonstrate that the elements of negligence were present at the time of the fatal collision. This includes proving that the defendant owed your loved one a duty of care, breached their duty, and caused a crash that ultimately took the life of your loved one.

After proving these elements existed, your family will be able to recover financial compensation for some of the losses and damages you face. These include compensation for:

• Loss of Consortium: Loss of consortium is the legal term for the loss of companionship and society. A spouse may be able to recover for the loss of love, affection, comfort, society, and other relations. To recover damages, the plaintiff must show that he or she was married to the decedent at the time of death and that, as a result of the death, he or she has experienced a deprivation of consortium.
• Loss of Services: A person who is found to have caused another person’s death may also be liable for any losses resulting from the death. This includes losses related to services that the deceased person would have typically performed. Family members may be able to recover for the value of lost services, including childcare, cooking, cleaning, yard work, and financial support.
• Funeral Expenses: Funeral expenses are one type of economic damages that may be recovered in a wrongful death action. Funeral expenses include both burial and cremation costs. In order to recover these damages, plaintiffs typically must present receipts or other documentation showing the costs incurred.
