Compassionate Wrongful Death Attorneys Serving El Paso Families
There is no greater loss than the death of a loved one caused by someone else's negligence or reckless actions. When a family member is taken from you because of a careless driver, a dangerous product, medical malpractice, or a workplace accident, the grief is compounded by sudden financial uncertainty — lost income, medical bills, and funeral expenses that arrive when you are least able to cope with them.
At Lovett & Murray, we approach every wrongful death case with the compassion and sensitivity that grieving families deserve, combined with the aggressive advocacy needed to hold responsible parties accountable. For over 30 years, we have helped families throughout El Paso, Las Cruces, and the surrounding region navigate the legal process during the most difficult time of their lives.
Common Causes of Wrongful Death in El Paso
Wrongful death cases arise from many different circumstances. Our attorneys have represented families whose loved ones were lost due to:
- Motor vehicle accidents — car crashes, truck collisions, motorcycle wrecks, and pedestrian accidents on El Paso's busy highways and intersections
- Commercial truck accidents — 18-wheeler and commercial vehicle crashes on I-10 and other major freight corridors
- Workplace accidents — construction falls, industrial equipment failures, explosions, and toxic exposure incidents
- Medical negligence — misdiagnosis, surgical errors, medication mistakes, and delayed treatment
- Defective products — faulty vehicle components, dangerous drugs, and defective consumer products
- Premises liability — deaths resulting from inadequate security, drowning in unprotected pools, or structural failures
- Criminal acts — when negligent security or supervision enables a violent crime that results in death
What a Wrongful Death Claim Covers
A wrongful death claim seeks to provide financial security for the family members left behind. Under Texas law, surviving family members may recover compensation for:
- Loss of financial support — the income, benefits, and financial contributions the deceased would have provided over their lifetime
- Loss of companionship and guidance — the emotional loss of a spouse's partnership, a parent's guidance, or a child's love
- Mental anguish — the psychological suffering experienced by surviving family members
- Loss of inheritance — the savings, retirement, and accumulated wealth the deceased would have left to their family
- Funeral and burial expenses — costs associated with the memorial and burial or cremation
A related survival action may also be filed to recover damages the deceased person experienced before death, including their pain and suffering between the time of injury and death and any medical expenses incurred.
