Let Our Fatal Car Accident Attorney Serving Austin Handle the Details of Your Case

According to the Centers For Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 32,000 people suffer fatal injuries in car accidents each year. 

We work hard to:

  • Identify the negligent driver
  • Prove the accident’s cause and contributing factors
  • Assess your economic and non-economic damages 

While our client-focused team handles your case, you can focus on helping your family recover from its loss.

Proof of Negligence

Your wrongful death insurance claim or lawsuit requires proof of the at-fault driver’s negligence. We work to collect evidence that proves the driver:

  • Owed your loved one a duty of reasonable care
  • Failed to live up to their responsibility to provide it
  • Caused your loved one’s injuries and demise
  • Caused the resulting financial consequences

Our independent investigation will assess and review the evidence we collect. We will also ensure your family understands the weight of your evidence and the role it plays in your case.

Evidence Collection

Collecting evidence is critical for your case. Our law firm and investigators can objectively collect and review evidence from a wide variety of sources.

The evidence we collect can include:

  • The car accident report
  • The investigating officer’s notes
  • Your loved one’s medical records
  • Statements from accident witnesses
  • Your loved one’s death certificate

Various pieces of evidence can document the cause of the collision and its financial aftermath. When you trust our team with your case, you can leave the evidence collection to us. 

Insurance Company Communication and Negotiation

When our law firm handles your case, we deal with the insurance company representing the at-fault driver for you. Our team members will:

  • Handle all verbal, virtual, and written communication
  • Compile, organize, and submit supporting evidence
  • Review each settlement offer your family receives
  • Weigh the feasibility of each settlement offer

The final decision to accept or reject a settlement is yours. We work hard to ensure the insurance company treats your family fairly and to ensure you have the information you need to make a well-informed decision.

Damages Our Fatal Car Accident Lawyer Requests for Austin Families

After a fatal accident, Texas law entitles the decedent’s spouse, parents, and children to seek financial recovery from the at-fault driver. Our legal team at D. Miller & Associates, PLLC™ fights to recover the following:

  • Funeral and burial expenses
  • Your loved one’s medical care
  • Your loss of their financial support
  • Loss of their household contributions
  • Loss of consortium and companionship

When we assess your financial recovery, we include the bills and receipts that prove their values in your evidence file. Our goal is to pursue fair financial recovery. 

Your Fatal Car Accident Case Requires Attention to Detail

The state determines how long you have to file your potential lawsuit. We work hard to resolve your case outside of court. If negotiations do not yield a fair offer, we can file a lawsuit on your behalf. 

According to Texas law, your family generally has two years from the date of your loved one’s demise to file a wrongful death lawsuit. Failure to comply with the statutory filing deadline can result in:

  • An inability to file your lawsuit at all
  • Your lawsuit being immediately dismissed

If this happens, you could be left with no legal avenue that compels the at-fault driver to compensate your family. Many factors can alter the statute of limitations, and our legal team can determine your deadline and protect your right to financial recovery.
