No family is ever prepared to lose someone they love. When that loss happens because another person or company acted carelessly, the grief is often compounded by unexpected financial burdens and difficult legal questions.
Along with mourning your loved one, you may be facing funeral expenses, medical bills, the loss of household income, and uncertainty about the future. During this incredibly difficult time, your family deserves experienced legal guidance and compassionate support.
At Biggs & Greenslade, our Garland wrongful death attorneys help families pursue accountability after preventable tragedies. While no lawsuit can undo your loss, pursuing a wrongful death claim may provide financial security for your family while holding negligent parties responsible for the harm they caused.
Let us handle the legal process while you focus on your family.
As a former U.S. Marine and prosecutor, Kenneth Biggs brings decades of courtroom experience to wrongful death litigation. His disciplined approach and commitment to justice help families pursue meaningful results during life's most difficult moments.
Before representing injured Texans, John Greenslade defended insurance companies. Today, he uses that firsthand knowledge to anticipate defense strategies and advocate aggressively for families seeking fair compensation.
Annie's background as a prosecutor allows her to approach every wrongful death case with careful preparation, compassion, and unwavering attention to detail. She works closely with families to help them navigate each stage of the legal process.
Morgan combines strong litigation experience with a thoughtful, client-focused approach. She helps families understand their legal rights while providing steady guidance from beginning to end.
A wrongful death occurs when someone loses their life because another person, business, or organization acted negligently, recklessly, or engaged in wrongful conduct.
These cases often arise after serious accidents that could have been prevented if reasonable care had been exercised. Proving liability requires a thorough investigation, careful collection of evidence, and a clear understanding of Texas wrongful death law.
Our attorneys manage every aspect of your case, from investigating the accident to negotiating with insurance companies, so your family can focus on healing instead of legal paperwork.
Every family's circumstances are different, but many fatal accidents result from preventable negligence. Our Garland wrongful death lawyers represent families in cases involving:
Negligent driving behaviors such as distracted driving, speeding, impaired driving, and reckless operation can have devastating consequences. We help families pursue justice after fatal automobile collisions.
Motorcyclists often suffer catastrophic injuries when drivers fail to share the road responsibly. We work to hold negligent motorists accountable for preventable fatalities.
Because of their tremendous size and weight, commercial trucks frequently cause fatal crashes. These cases often involve trucking companies, maintenance providers, and other potentially liable parties.
Manufacturers have a responsibility to produce reasonably safe products. When defective equipment, vehicles, medications, or consumer products result in a fatal injury, legal action may be appropriate.
Property owners who fail to correct dangerous conditions or provide adequate safety measures may be responsible when a fatal accident occurs on their property.
Filing a wrongful death lawsuit may seem overwhelming, especially while your family is grieving. Our attorneys explain each step, answer your questions, and help you make informed decisions throughout the process.
Texas law allows certain surviving family members to pursue a wrongful death claim, including:
In Texas, wrongful death claims are usually limited to immediate family members. Individuals who are not immediate family members, including common law spouses, are generally not eligible to file.
Texas places strict filing deadlines on wrongful death claims, so it’s important to seek legal counsel as soon as possible. Usually, family members of the deceased have 3 months to file a wrongful death claim. Family members have the opportunity to file together in a single claim or file separately when appropriate.
After the initial 3 months, the estate’s representative may then be able to file a claim as well, depending on the circumstances. Families have the option to request that no claim be filed.
Wrongful death claims may allow surviving family members to recover compensation for losses such as:
In cases involving particularly reckless conduct, additional damages may also be available under Texas law.
Many families hesitate to contact an attorney because they're worried about legal costs. At Biggs & Greenslade, there are no upfront attorney's fees to begin your case.
We represent wrongful death clients on a contingency fee basis, which means we only receive payment if we successfully recover compensation on your family's behalf. If there is no recovery, you owe no attorney's fees.
This allows families to pursue justice without adding another financial burden during an already difficult time.
If your family has lost a loved one because of another person's negligence, you shouldn't have to face the legal process alone. Our attorneys are committed to helping Garland families seek accountability, financial security, and the answers they deserve.
Contact Biggs & Greenslade today to schedule your free consultation. We're here to listen, explain your legal options, and fight for your family's future.
