Wrongful Death Attorney in Dallas

In Dallas and throughout Texas, the legal principle of modified comparative negligence comes into play in situations like this. Here, you may still be able to file a claim or lawsuit and recover damages, as long as your loved one was not more than 50 percent at fault for the incident that led to their death. Even so, the damages you may be entitled to will be reduced to match your loved one's percentage of fault.

Not if you hire one from the largest and most powerful injury firm – Morgan and Morgan. That sounds like an oxymoron, but the truth is that we do not charge any upfront fees. Instead, we only get paid if we win and secure a settlement or verdict from you. This means you'll get top-notch legal representation without spending a single dime upfront. 

In a wrongful death case, you may be entitled to economic damages, non-economic damages, and, in some cases, punitive damages. 

Economic damages usually cover tangible, quantifiable losses such as medical and funeral expenses, loss of the deceased's expected earnings, benefits, and inheritance. 

Non-economic damages, on the other hand, compensate for more subjective, intangible losses. This includes the pain and suffering of survivors, loss of companionship, care, protection, and the emotional impact due to the absence of the deceased. 

In cases where the defendant's actions were particularly harmful or reckless, punitive damages may also be awarded. 

At Morgan and Morgan, we understand no amount of money can replace your loss, but it can provide the financial support you need to move forward. Contact us today for a free case evaluation, and let us help you honor the memory of your loved one by fighting for the justice they deserve.
