Any car accident that results in an injury is serious! It can have a lasting impact on a victim and his or her family. When that accident turns fatal, however, the devastation cannot be overstated.

The attorneys at Herrman & Herrman, P.L.L.C., have more than 70 years of experience in helping their clients get through such difficult times after fatal car accidents in Texas. Our lawyers can help you achieve the justice that you are seeking after the wrongful death of a family member.
Experienced McAllen Fatal Crash Lawyers
Under the Texas wrongful death statute, the law allows the estate of the deceased victim to sue for the injuries the deceased could not have sued for if he/she had survived. Parents, spouses and children of the deceased individual can recover compensation. Once the family member has died, any medical bills and funeral and burial expenses can be recovered by the estate. Pain and suffering that occurred while he/she was still conscious is recoverable by filing a separate survival claim. Essentially, the estate is standing in the deceased's shoes in terms of legal rights. The family has claims for loss of society, companionship, consortium, inheritance and other claims.
Our firm will talk with any witnesses, including paramedics who provided treatment in those final moments. While no amount of money can bring back your family member, we explore all avenues to ensure that justice is served and a financial future is more stable.
