FAQ

Can I File a Wrongful Death Claim if My Loved One Was Partly at Fault?

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.

Is Hiring a Wrongful Death Attorney in Dallas Too Expensive?

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.

What Am I Entitled to If I Win My Wrongful Death Case?

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

What Are Economic Damages In a Wrongful Death Case?

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

What Are Non-Economic Damages In a Wrongful Death Case?

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.
