Fatal construction accidents are all too common occurrences throughout the state of Texas. If you have lost a family member due to a construction accident, the attorneys at our Law Office may be able to help you during this tragic time. We are, unfortunately, very familiar with how losing a loved one because of a fatal construction accident can shatter the lives of family members. We are also well aware, however, that the tragedy can, many times, be only the start of the problems that the surviving family members will face. One of the biggest sources of stress during this trying time is the uncertainty of any legal action your family may be considering. When thinking about pursuing litigation, one of the first things a family needs to do is find out what legal avenues they might be able to take and whether or not they need to employ the services of a wrongful death lawyer to take on their case. Our attorneys have been handling fatal construction accident cases throughout Texas for two decades. We would like to fully spell out all of the intricacies and complexities that are involved in this kind of litigation and the ways we can help you obtain just restitution for the loss your family has suffered and the hurdles you will have to overcome.
There are no guarantees you will be able to obtain that compensation, however, even though your family member was wrongfully killed. Most of the time in fatal construction accidents, the accompanying wrongful death litigation goes to trial. The family members of the deceased worker, referred to as the plaintiffs for legal purposes, are required by law to bear the burden of proof and establish that a responsible party’s negligence resulted in the fatality. For an lawyer, it can be incredibly difficult to understand all the complexities and nuances associated with this kind of case. For someone with no legal background whatsoever, it can be harder than trying to learn a foreign language. It is imperative that you and your family enlist the assistance of a seasoned wrongful death attorney to help bring you the compensation you deserve and to bring those responsible for your loss to justice. Obviously, no amount of money, no matter how significant it may be, will ever be able to bring back your family member or to adequately compensate you and your family for the incredible loss you’ve suffered. An experienced attorney can make sure those who played a role in the tragic accident that robbed you of your loved one are held accountable for their negligent actions. More Information here
Most of the time in the event of a fatal construction accident, the family members of the victim can obtain some restitution through workers’ compensation insurance. But that in no way guarantees that the construction company’s insurance provider will automatically provide your family with fair compensation. If your family member’s employer failed to purchase workers’ comp insurance, the only way you’ll be able to get fair compensation is through the means of a lawsuit. Because the process surrounding this type of litigation, is so complex, you will need the help of someone who was waded through these treacherous waters and can guide you through all the complexities involved. A seasoned attorney can help you decide what type of claim you need to file and also give you an accurate idea of how much compensation you and your family may have coming to you.
Fatalities at a Construction Site
If the death of your family member took place while he or she was working at a construction site, you must first determine whether or not the employer purchased or was a “subscriber” to workers’ compensation insurance. Next – and this is a very important and vital step – it must be determined whether or not your deceased loved one was a “true employee” of the company he or she was working for and would be seen as such in the eyes of the court. It is extremely important to establish an employer/employee relationship. Then, most importantly, it must be determined whether or not the negligence of the employer resulted in the fatal construction accident. There are myriad questions you must answer as well as a great deal of evidence you must provide to satisfy your burden of proof. You need the experience of a wrongful death attorney who is very familiar with the process involved with investigating an accident scene to uncover critical evidence, who knows how to provide answers to all the questions surrounding your case, and knows how to create an effective strategy to obtain the compensation your family deserves, no matter what the circumstances were surrounding your loved one’s death.
