Wrongful death is the loss of a life as a result of another's negligent or deliberate behavior. With wrongful death lawsuits, our San Antonio personal injury attorneys seek to hold another party liable for a preventable loss of life. A claim may be brought against any entity whose carelessness resulted in another's death by the surviving family members.

At the Carabin Shaw law firm, we understand how difficult the loss of a loved one can be, especially if the negligence of another party caused it. We also understand how survivors may have mixed feelings about filing a wrongful death lawsuit for that death. We recognize that no legal settlement or trial verdict will ever make up for the tragic loss of a loved one, but our San Antonio personal injury law firm will make sure that your rights, benefits, and legal remedies are protected and preserved.

Deaths caused by the negligent or wrongful conduct of another can occur in many different ways. Some of the most common types include:

• Car Accidents -
• Motorcycle Accidents
• Truck Accidents
• Workplace Accidents
• 18 Wheeler Accidents
• Dangerous or Defective Products
• Medical Malpractice
• Premises Liability
• DUI Related Cases

In 2022, San Antonio had 186 fatal vehicle accidents, with 199 fatalities!

When tragedy strikes, securing qualified legal representation quickly becomes crucial to protecting your rights and pursuing justice.
