Compassionate and Effective Wrongful Death Lawyers in Texarkana
Proven Representation in Texas and Arkansas
The law firm of Bailey & Galyen provides legal representation for clients seeking damages in wrongful death suits. Wrongful death litigation usually arises from an accident that causes premature death. Some such cases arise from motor vehicle accidents, construction accidents, work place injuries, drunk driving accidents, medical malpractice, trucking accidents, rollovers, underrides, fires, and explosions. In wrongful death cases, the family or estate of the victim usually bring the case forward. We understand that while money alone cannot relieve pain and suffering or restore loss, the law provides a way to help the victim’s surviving family members.

Losing a loved one is painful. Losing a loved one due to wrongful death can be even more difficult. When someone’s wrongful actions cause injuries that result in your loved one’s death, that is a wrongful death. In every state in the US, the victim’s representative or heirs may file a lawsuit for monetary damages. The laws, however, vary quite a bit from state to state, so consulting with an attorney is advisable.
The main method courts use to measure loss in wrongful death lawsuits is pecuniary damages – that is, the court determines the proper compensation for the financial loss caused by the victim’s death. Though this may seem harsh or cold, money damages are the remedy that civil courts have at their disposal. When courts measure loss, they look first at quantifiable data:
- How much did the deceased earn?
- How much did the deceased save?
- How financially dependent were the survivors on the deceased?
The court also takes the following into consideration:
- Funeral expenses
- Medical expenses
