you from the start. At The Stewart Law Firm, PLLC our Austin wrongful
death lawyer represents the families of those who have lost their lives
in the process of doing their jobs.
We understand how devastating it can be to lose a loved one, especially

Filing a Wrongful Death Claim
If your loved one's employer has workers' compensation insurance,
gross negligence must be shown in order for you to file a successful
wrongful death claim. If the employer does not carry workers' compensation insurance,
only standard negligence needs to be shown. We will take the time to explain
the legal issues surrounding your case as well as your legal options.
We will give you our best recommendation about how to proceed and pursue
every available option.
By filing a wrongful death claim, you may be able to obtain compensation for:
- Medical care
- Funeral arrangements
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of companionship
We know that there is no amount of money that will compensate for the loss
of your loved one. We only hope to put you and your children in the best
possible situation as you begin the process of transitioning into this
new phase of your life. In addition, we work to create fundamental change
in the way businesses operate in an effort to minimize the chances of
future victimization.
