Losing a loved one in a fatal truck accident causes severe, long-lasting pain. Losing a loved one also causes intense financial pressure in many cases. A Texas fatal truck accident lawyer from Domingo Garcia will seek justice for your loss, just as we have for many other victims of fatal traffic accidents.
The Domingo Garcia team has helped many clients move forward from wrongful deaths. While emotional and psychological recovery takes time, our team will seek compensation that covers several damages you’ve experienced.
The Cost of a Fatal Truck Accident—a Cost We Will Seek Compensation for
There is no trauma greater than losing a loved one. The Domingo Garcia team gives you its deepest condolences, as we have seen firsthand how devastating a wrongful death is. We will seek justice for you and the memory of the loved one you lost.
A fatal truck accident takes a financial and non-financial toll. Common damages include:
The Pain and Suffering of the Decedent and Surviving Loved Ones
Our team will rely on mental health professionals to evaluate your pain and suffering. The American Psychological Association (APA) notes that losing a spouse or parent can cause particularly intense grief. Your symptoms may include:
- Emotional and psychological distress
- Depression
- Lost quality of life
- Difficulty sleeping
- Nightmares
Without causing further pain, we will also consider how your loved one may have suffered before passing. The need to revisit the facts of your loved one’s passing is a good reason to hire Domingo Garcia, rather than handling your own case.
Other non-economic damages that may entitle you to compensation are:
- Lost companionship
- Lost guidance (for children who lose a parent)
- Loss of any other benefits the decedent provided
Losing a loved one is about so much more than money. Our Texas attorneys know that, and we calculate fatal truck accident settlements in a manner that reflects your non-economic damages.
Treatment Costs for Grief and Other Types of Pain and Suffering
If you undergo grief counseling, take medication, or pursue other treatments to help you cope with your loss, we’ll determine the cost of those treatments. We will also discuss how long you will likely need treatment with you and your mental healthcare providers.
Medical Expenses (for Both the Decedent and Surviving Loved Ones)
If your loved one received emergency transportation, emergency care, end-of-life care, or any other medical services after their accident, our Texas fatal truck accident lawyers will seek compensation for resulting medical bills.
Harvard Health explains that grief can cause stress, potentially exacerbating existing health problems for surviving loved ones. If you have had health problems since your loved one’s loss, related medical expenses may be recoverable.
Funeral Costs
Healthline explains that funerals cost about $15,000 on average, and some can cost well beyond that figure. We intend for liable parties to cover all of your loved one’s funeral and burial expenses.
Lost Financial Support
The loss of a loved one can also be financially costly, with damages including the loss of:
- The decedent’s income (through retirement age, which is typically 65)
- The decedent’s contributions to their household (labor, skills, services, etc.)
- Benefits the decedent’s employer provided, but will not continue to provide upon your loved one’s passing
Determining damages in a fatal truck accident case can be difficult, especially for those mourning a loved one’s loss. Let a Texas fatal truck accident lawyer handle this process and every other step of your lawsuit.
We have dedicated our careers to getting the families of fatal accident victims the compensation they need. We recovered $8,750,000 for the family of a fatal 18-wheeler truck accident.
While no amount of money will ever bring their family member back, this settlement gives them the compensation they need to cover their lost loved one’s income, funeral bills, and other expenses.
