Wrongful Death

Compassionate Dallas Attorneys Committed to Helping Mourning Families

wrongful-death-300x199When a loved one passes away, it is a sad and tragic time for friends and family. But when someone dies without warning, due to the recklessness or negligence of another individual, the grief is even more profound. If your loved one has died because of someone else’s irresponsible behavior, you may hesitate to consider a personal injury claim because you simply want to put the tragedy behind you. However, a wrongful death can cause huge financial difficulties for those left behind, especially if the victim was a caregiver or provider for dependents. The attorneys at Powers Taylor believe you should not have to shoulder a huge financial burden, especially while grieving the loss of your loved one. We also believe that those responsible for your loved one’s death should be held accountable for their actions and should be prevented from causing similar harm in the future. Our Dallas wrongful death lawyers understand the emotional turmoil you are experiencing and work with compassion and respect, guiding you through every step of the legal process.
