Wrongful Death
Did You Lose A Loved One Because Of Someone Else’s Negligence?
Unexpectedly losing a family member can leave you and those around you dealing with immense grief while simultaneously grappling with complex financial and legal questions. When a death occurs because another person, business, or organization failed to act with reasonable care, surviving family members may have a viable wrongful death claim to pursue.
While no amount of compensation can ever replace the loss, it can at least provide financial comfort and security during such a difficult time. A legal claim can also make it possible to hold responsible parties accountable for their actions.
Djiba Law represents families in Austin and throughout Central Texas after fatal accidents caused by negligence. We deal with cases that arise from car and truck crashes, workplace or construction accidents, dangerous property conditions, medical negligence, and other preventable accidents. When it comes to your wrongful death claim, we’ll do whatever it takes to ensure you receive thoughtful and sensitive legal care throughout the entire process.
Why Choose Djiba Law For A Wrongful Death Claim?
Wrongful death cases require careful preparation because the consequences extend far beyond the accident itself. Losing a loved one can impact a family’s income, household responsibilities, emotional welfare, and long-term financial stability.
Djiba Law takes a hands-on and personalized approach to serious injury and wrongful death cases. Whatever the situation may be, we make a point to provide our clients with direct communication, clear explanations, and attentive representation so that they are aware of what is happening at all times.
Rather than allowing insurance companies to determine what a loss is worth, Attorney Malick Djiba works to understand the full scope and impact of the incident so that the compensation accurately reflects the facts of the case.
What Challenges Can Arise In An Austin Wrongful Death Case?
One of the first obstacles that can come with a wrongful death case is determining exactly what happened and who may be legally responsible. Fatal accidents often involve multiple parties, conflicting accounts, insurance coverage issues, and evidence that can become more difficult to collect as time passes.
Insurance companies may also attempt to dispute responsibility or attempt to minimize the financial value of a claim. This can make matters significantly worse for families that are already grieving a loss.
Wrongful death compensation takes an array of losses into account, including funeral and burial expenses, lost financial support, loss of companionship, emotional suffering, and other damages connected to the death.
How A Texas Wrongful Death Attorney Can Help Your Family
A skilled attorney typically begins by investigating the circumstances surrounding the death and identifying potential sources of liability and insurance coverage. This involves gathering records, preserving evidence, interviewing witnesses, communicating with insurers, and reviewing the financial impact the death has had and will have on surviving family members.
Djiba Law also handles negotiations with insurance companies and evaluates whether a proposed settlement fairly reflects the losses. If a case cannot be resolved through negotiation, further legal action may be necessary to pursue accountability and financial restitution.
Throughout the course of the case, our goal is to reduce the legal burden on family members while adamantly protecting their best interests.
