Wrongful Death Attorney

If you have recently lost a close loved one due to the misconduct, negligence or careless actions of a third-party such as another person, company or entity, it is important that you protect your right to take legal action by hiring a Houston wrongful death attorney as soon as possible.  At Joel A. Gordon & Associates, we understand that you have many choices when it comes to hiring a wrongful death lawyer. However, we feel that our office is more than equipped to get you the results you deserve for your wrongful death lawsuit. Here are a few reasons why you should consider working with a wrongful death attorney from our personal injury firm:

1. We have years of experience handling wrongful death actions in the state of Texas.  Since 1993, we have been working on cases involving wrongful death in the city of Houston and with our expertise, knowledge and resources, a great percentage of our clients have successfully obtained compensation for their cases.
2. We believe our clients have the right to be compensated for their losses.  Every wrongful death lawyer on our team will do everything possible to secure maximum damages for our clients as we truly believe they have the right to hold negligent parties accountable, especially when they have lost their closest family members. We know that when people have suffered a wrongful death, they will never see their loved one again, which is tragic.
   
3. We remain accessible to our clients throughout the entire length of their wrongful death actions.  Clients always have access to our staff and our Houston personal injury attorneys and we strive to communicate regularly when we are working on cases.  We believe in keeping our clients informed and updating them any time we receive news that pertains to their cases.
   
4. We work hard to build trust with our clients and their families.  Many wrongful death actions take a great deal of time. Therefore, it is important that we have established trusting relationships with our clients and they know our entire legal team is here to support them during these tough and emotionally charged times.
   
5. We have a long-standing history of winning wrongful death claims in the state of Texas.  For the past 17+ years, we have been able to secure fair and just compensation on behalf of our clients and their families. Every time we take on a case, it is our intention to win and to obtain the highest amount of compensation possible for our clients.

If able to prove that the death of a family member was caused by someone's negligence, then you can assert a wrongful death claim under Texas law. If you win or settle the wrongful death claim, then you will be entitled to recover compensatory damages, and possibly punitive damages as well.  While no amount of money will return a deceased family member, filing a wrongful death claim can hold negligent parties accountable for their actions.

If you and/or a family member have suffered serious or fatal injuries due to an accident, you and/or the family member may be eligible to file a claim. However, persons seeking to preserve any potential legal claims should contact an attorney promptly because Texas has mandatory time periods ("Statute of Limitations") in which a lawsuit must be filed.
