Wrongful Death

Southeast Texas Wrongful Death Lawyer

Losing someone you love is never easy. But losing someone you love simply because another person or business didn't care enough to consider the true costs of their actions—well, that's something no one should ever have to experience.

The right law firm to call…dial 1(800) 222-1204 today.

At Clay Dugas & Associates, we understand what a difficult time this is for the people and families we represent. We have seen firsthand the devastation, anger, and grief these needless tragedies leave behind. We are here to help.

As a firm, we provide diligent, dedicated, and aggressive representation on behalf of clients in the Beaumont area and throughout the Southeast Texas, Southwestern Louisiana region in wrongful death claims resulting from:

• Construction Site Accidents
• Industrial and Refinery Accidents
• Admiralty and Maritime Accidents
• Burn Injuries
• Medical Malpractice
• Birth Injuries
• Hospital Malpractice
• Sexual Molestation
• Motor Vehicle Accidents
• Trucking Accidents
• Drunk Driving Accidents
• Auto Defects
• Defective Products

In addition to wrongful death, the state of Texas also allows for "the estate" of the person who was killed to obtain compensation for conscious pain and suffering as well as punitive damages—if it can be shown that the person lived for a period of time after sustaining their injuries. This type of lawsuit is known as a "survival action."

Spouses, parents, children, siblings, and certain other family members may be able to obtain compensation for medical and funeral expenses, the loss of expected future income, the loss of companionship, the loss of benefits, the loss of inheritance in the case of minor children, and in some cases—drunk driving accidents and deaths related to sexual abuse in particular—punitive damages may also be awarded.

In either a wrongful death lawsuit or a survival action, our goal is to exceed your expectations in every way and to help you understand and feel more comfortable with the legal process. And while we are always aggressive in trying to resolve cases as quickly as possible in order to get you the financial help you need—we are equally dedicated to making sure that we handle the case correctly at the same time.
