The information in this article has been obtained from public media and is for information purposes. We understand that this is a difficult period for the family of people affected by a tragic accident, and we offer our sincere condolences. Although the idea of hiring a law firm does not feel appropriate for the moment, as a public service, we like to advise the following family:
1. In some cases, it may be very important to immediately start to obtain evidence, including, but without limiting yourself, photos of slippage marks, photos of material damage, declarations of witnesses, the real vehicle or other goods involved in the incident and other critical evidence before it disappears.
2. In Texas, it is illegal for anyone to contact the family by telephone or in person to convince the family to hire a law firm or a lawyer unless the family first contacts the law firm or the lawyer.
3. Under the law of Texas, unjustified death actions can be implemented by a spouse (husband or wife), child (son or daughter) or parent (mother or father). A complaint can also be brought in the name of the deceased succession. The limitation period in Texas for unjustified death is two years from the date of the incident.
