Beyond the pain and anguish of losing your spouse, parent or child, the financial burdens can be devastating. Loved are often left to deal with unexpected costs associated with emergency medical treatment and the expenses of burial. Loss of the decedent’s income can leave a family in dire straits.

What is a “wrongful death”?

A wrongful death is an untimely death due to the negligent, reckless, careless or willful and wanton (or even intentional) conduct of another person or party. These claims arise out of motor vehicle collisions (including car wrecks, truck and 18 wheeler wrecks, motorcycle wrecks), medical malpractice, nursing home abuse, premises defects, workplace accidents and any other type of fatal injuries.

What should I do if my loved one is killed?

If possible, you should obtain the personal information from all persons present at the time of or soon after your decedent’s injury. This includes names, addresses, phone numbers and dates of birth. If you can, take pictures of the accident scene before any of the evidence is moved or altered. Our wrongful death trial team can quickly respond to your requests for help and assist you with any questions you have about your situation. We will handle wrongful death cases any place in Texas and the United States. Call us as soon as possible so that we can make efforts to preserve the evidence before it is gone.

Who is responsible for my medical bills?

In general, the person or company “at fault” in the injury will ultimately be responsible for the medical bills and any other damages as a result of the wrongful death. However, any health care providers will look to the decedent’s estate or spouse to pay for their services. If the decedent had health insurance, you should use that insurance to pay for any medical treatment obtained prior to death. Dealing with these issues can be frustrating and without timely correspondence, credit ratings can be ruined. Call the Glenn Law Firm with any questions you may have about dealing with your loved one’s expenses for the injuries that caused his or her death.

What about burial expenses?

Like medical expenses, the law provides for recovery of burial expenses as well. However, it is rare that the responsible party will pay for those up front. Burial expenses are another claim the estate has against the at fault party. The expenses of the funeral will generally have to be paid by the decedent’s family. Often we can help make arrangements for your payments to be made over time. Contact the Glenn Law Firm with any questions you may have about your loved one’s expenses.

Do I really need to hire a wrongful death lawyer?

Big business and insurance companies have specially trained adjustors who spend all day every day working to settle wrongful death claims for the smallest possible amount. These are full time professionals whose only agenda is to save their company money. In fact, their compensation is based on their ability to do just that. Hiring an experienced trial lawyer is the only way to keep these big companies from taking advantage of you. The fact is that these companies are bullies. They will try every thing they know to force you to settle your case for far less than you are entitled to recover. At the Glenn Law Firm, we have spent more than 25 years learning how to fight them at their own game. We fight bullies! is a not just a slogan, it is a mission. This is what we do, all day every day.

How is a wrongful death trial lawyer paid?

The Glenn Law Firm, like any other personal injury firm, is paid on a contingent fee basis. That means you don’t pay unless you recover by settlement or jury verdict. A contingent fee is a predetermined and agreed percentage of your settlement or jury verdict. If you don’t recover, you are not responsible to pay for our services.

What am I entitled to recover or how much is my case worth?

The value of your case depends on multiple factors. These are all based on the physical injuries and the monetary damages you have incurred, and how these injuries will impact your life. These include:

* pain and suffering of your loved one prior to death

* pain, suffering and mental anguish your family has incurred as a result of the loss

* decedent’s lost earning capacity based for the future (expected career earnings)

* lost insurance and other benefits

* loss of care, comfort and society due to your loved one’s death

* medical and burial expenses

In wrongful death cases, The Glenn Law Firm can help you understand exactly what you are entitled to claim based on all of the facts related to your loss. Contact us as soon as you can to allow the best possible opportunity to protect your rights.

How long will it take to recover?

* What should you do to preserve your rights?

* Common causes of motorcycle collisions

* Motorcycle wrecks

What should you do to preserve your rights?

First, get the medical care you need. Then, call the Glenn Law Firm. The sooner we can begin preserving the evidence, the better. In motorcycle wrecks it is important to secure the motorcycle just as it is following the collision. By all means, make sure the motorcycle is not destroyed or sold at auction to pay towing or storage charges. We will get the motorcycle transported to a safe spot for investigation and preservation. Contact us now to preserve your rights.

Common causes of motorcycle collisions

Other drivers don’t understand motorcycles and how they work. Many people think of motorcycles as bicycles and believe they are stopped and maneuvered just like a bike. Common causes of motorcycle wrecks that indicate negligent operation of a vehicle by the other driver include:

* failing to devote full time and attention to driving

* following a motorcycle too closely

* pulling into the roadway in front of a motorcyclist

* failing to yield the right-of-way at intersections or when changing lanes

* turning left in front of a motorcycle

Many times the at fault driver will say “I never saw the motorcycle”. This is typical of the lack of respect some drivers show to motorcyclists. They simply don’t treat them as equals on the road. At the Glenn Law Firm, we understand what it is like to ride. David M. Glenn has had a motorcycle license for more than thirty years. We are experienced in handling all types of personal injury claims and committed to helping you get all of the compensation you are entitled to receive. The Glenn Law Firm is dedicated to helping you recover your losses fully.

Motorcycle wrecks

In 2006, over 4,800 people died in motorcycle wrecks according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Fatalities involving motorcycles account for more than ten per cent of our traffic deaths. The NHTSA estimates that a motorcyclist is 34 times more likely than someone in a car to be killed on the road. Our Dallas-Fort Worth and Texas motorcycle lawyers can help you and your family with all of your legal questions following a serious personal injury or wrongful death as the result of a motorcycle wreck.

Under the law, motorcyclists should enjoy all of the driving privileges of those operating cars. Unfortunately, many people are just not aware of what it means to safely share the road with a motorcycle. That is no excuse, it is negligence. The Glenn Law Firm knows your rights and will help to ensure they are protected fully. While all cases are different, you may have a claim for all medical expenses including medical treatment in the future, therapy and rehabilitation, lost wages and earning capacity, and your emotional damages for pain, suffering and physical limitations.
