Car Accidents in Texas
Crashes like this remind us how unpredictable Texas roads can be, especially during early commuting hours. According to the Texas Department of Public Safety, thousands of fatal crashes happen each year on highways like I-20 and Highway 67, often during peak travel times when traffic is dense.
To better understand what families face after losing a loved one in a collision, here are a few important points about fatal crash cases:
- Wrongful Death Lawsuits: Surviving family members may be able to file a wrongful death claim when negligence or recklessness is involved. This can help cover funeral expenses, medical bills, and loss of income or companionship.
- Insurance Challenges: Dealing with insurance companies after a fatal crash can feel overwhelming. Insurers may attempt to minimize payouts, which makes having legal representation vital.
- Accident Reconstruction: Fatal highway crashes often require a detailed investigation to determine fault. Accident reconstruction experts gather evidence like skid marks, vehicle data, and witness statements to piece together what happened.
- Emotional Trauma: Grieving families are left coping with sudden loss, often alongside financial burdens. Many seek counseling or support groups to help process their grief.
- Time Limits to File Claims: Texas law sets strict deadlines for filing wrongful death claims. Acting quickly helps protect your family’s rights and preserves vital evidence.
