Truck Accidents

Accidents involving large commercial trucks can be devastating. If your loved one was killed in a truck accident, Sloan Firm will fight to hold the truck driver or company accountable. 

Workplace Accidents

Certain industries, like construction and oil and gas, carry significant risks. If your family member lost their life due to unsafe working conditions, equipment failure, or an employer’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation through a wrongful death lawsuit.

Product Liability

Sometimes, defective products can cause fatal accidents. If a faulty product caused your loved one’s death, the manufacturer or distributor could be held liable. Our wrongful death attorneys near Houston are skilled at handling product liability wrongful death cases and will work to ensure the responsible parties are held liable.

Losing a loved one can leave your family facing both emotional and financial challenges. A wrongful death lawsuit can help you recover the compensation you need to ease these burdens. You may be entitled to various types of damages, such as:

• Loss of Financial Support: If your loved one was the family breadwinner, you could recover the lost wages they would have earned throughout their lifetime.
• Loss of Inheritance: If your family member would have contributed to an inheritance, you may be able to recover the value of that lost contribution.
• Loss of Services: Families can also recover compensation for the loss of services their loved one would have provided, such as household duties or childcare.
• Non-Economic Damages: These damages cover the emotional impact of your loss, including mental anguish, loss of companionship, and parental guidance.
• Punitive Damages: In cases where the responsible party’s actions were particularly reckless or malicious, punitive damages may be awarded to punish them and prevent similar future behavior.

We’ll assess the full scope of your damages and pursue maximum compensation for your family.
