The loss of a family member is the most difficult life experience that any person goes through. If the loss is sudden and unexpected, the experience is that much worse. When someone passes away, family members’ thoughts are where they should be – with the loved one they have lost. But one of the practical decisions that needs to be made as soon as possible after the death is whether it is appropriate to pursue a claim against a company or person responsible.
The first step is finding the right attorney to evaluate your potential claim. Since insurance companies have extensive experience in evaluating claims and will seek to obtain the lowest settlement value possible, it is critical for you to engage a firm with considerable experience dealing with insurance companies. It is best to retain a Dallas personal injury attorney who regularly handles wrongful death claims so that a lawsuit can be pursued if the insurance company is unwilling to settle your claim for a fair amount.
