Fort Worth Automobile Accident Gives Rise to Wrongful Death Claim
Early this morning, a tragic, two-car accident sent one driver to the hospital and the other to his death. As violent as you would imagine, the accident flung car parts across several lanes of traffic and caused delays as workers cleared the resulting debris from the road.
The accident happened on westbound North Loop 820 in Fort Worth, precisely the same stretch of roadway that observers and experts have warned may be dangerous in light of recent road construction and shifted lanes.

In general, the law requires that people who are injured file their own legal claims. Of course, in the event of an injury that causes death, the decedent isn’t able to pursue their claims for obvious reasons. Fortunately, to counteract this legal conundrum, the State of Texas has wisely passed a statute that allows for next-of-kin and other appropriate parties to pursue a wrongful death lawsuit on behalf of the victim.
Wrongful death lawsuits are important in many areas of the law, but they are particularly meaningful in the context of automobile accidents. The drunk, sleepy, or distracted drivers who cause so many accidents in North Texas shouldn’t be able to evade justice because of the fact that the accident they caused resulted in the victim’s death. It’s important for society, the victim’s family, and the victim herself that the appropriate successor-in-interest pursue a civil, wrongful death claim.
