Pursuing Justice For Your Loved One’s Wrongful Death

There’s nothing more painful than losing a close loved one. It can hurt even more knowing that they lost their life due to another’s carelessness. If your loved one was someone you relied on for raising your children or financial support, their death could leave you uncertain about how you will pay the bills and care for the kids now that they’re gone.

At Gauntt Koen Binney & Kidd, LLP, we understand that you’re going through a difficult time. We’re here to help you pursue a wrongful death lawsuit. Let us seek the compensation you need so you can feel at ease as you continue grieving.

What Is Wrongful Death?

Wrongful death occurs when someone dies due to the negligence, intentional or unintentional actions of another party. Pursuing wrongful death can allow you to seek compensation for your loss. If you win your case, you can use the money to cover funeral costs, supplement their income, or compensate for your pain and suffering.

We can guide you through the legal process, providing the support and advocacy you need to hold responsible parties accountable.

Key Elements Of A Successful Wrongful Death Claim

To successfully pursue wrongful death, plaintiffs must demonstrate several key elements:

Duty Of Care

Someone was expected to behave carefully and responsibly for the safety and well-being of others.

Breach Of Duty

Someone violated the responsibility they held toward others.

Causation

The violation of their duties and responsibilities resulted in the other person’s death.

Damages

The death of the individual resulted in significant hardship for their spouses, children or others who relied on them.

This process helps establish the defendant’s liability for the death, and our attorneys will work diligently to gather evidence and build a strong case on your behalf.

How Wrongful Death Can Occur

Wrongful death can result from:

Car And Truck Accidents

Careless and reckless driving are some of the most common causes of wrongful death across Texas.

Workplace Incidents

Unsafe working conditions or a lack of proper safety procedures can result in severe and deadly accidents. These can happen due to faulty equipment, falls from high heights, improper use of machinery or workplace violence.

Industrial Accidents

Failures in safety protocols in industrial environments can often have fatal consequences. Some other contributors to wrongful death in industrial environments include electrocution, fires, falls, explosions and exposure to toxic chemicals.
