North Texas Hit-and-Run Accident

What is a wrongful death action? For a family in Tarrant County, it could be a meaningful and beneficial legal tool that gives them a chance at justice.

In general, the law provides that only the person who suffers an injury can bring a legal action for damages. Of course, taken to its logical conclusion, this means that a person who suffers an injury and dies or is incapacitated as a result wouldn’t be able to recover. In effect, their claim for damages would die with them. To prevent that obvious injustice, the state legislature has passed the wrongful death statute whereby a loved one may pursue the deceased person’s legal remedies.

For the family of a hit-and-run victim, this statute has new meaning. In the midst of personal tragedy, they have the ability to file a civil lawsuit and may be able to recover damages if the person who struck the man did so negligently or recklessly.
