When Tragedy Strikes: Understanding Your Rights After a Wrongful Death in East Texas
The death of a loved one is one of the most traumatic events any person or family can possibly endure. When a premature death occurs because of someone else's negligence, the pain is compounded by the senselessness of the loss. At McKay Law, we understand that no amount of legal action can truly compensate for the loss of a spouse, parent, child, or other cherished family member. However, taking care of survivors and families — both emotionally and financially — is our absolute top priority, while obtaining justice for the negligence that resulted in the wrongful death.
The Reality of Wrongful Death Cases
A wrongful death occurs when someone loses their life due to the negligent, reckless, or intentional actions of another person or entity. Through thorough investigation and technologically advanced investigative techniques, wrongful death incidents can be proven to be the consequence of bad decisions or actions that should never have occurred but for someone else's negligent behavior.
The aftermath of such a tragedy often brings heartbreak, anger, and confusion. Families are left grappling with grief while simultaneously facing practical concerns: funeral expenses must be paid, bills continue to arrive, and surviving children need care. Life does not stop, and the decedent's family members require financial resources to survive and rebuild.
How McKay Law Advocates for Grieving Families
McKay Law has represented countless individuals and families who have lost loved ones due to the negligence of others. With over 30 years of combined experience, our firm has successfully obtained substantial compensation from the parties responsible by holding them accountable under the law. We know how to negotiate and, when necessary, aggressively litigate against insurers who refuse to fairly compensate survivors of deceased claimants.
