San Antonio Wrongful Death Lawyer

Wrongful death can arise in many ways, but almost always from the same root problem: someone chose speed, profit, or convenience over basic safety. 

Marc LaHood Law represents families in cases involving:

• Fatal car collisions and 18-wheeler accidents caused by careless or impaired drivers
• Oilfield accidents, construction accidents, and industrial accidents on dangerous worksites
• Plant and refinery incidents, explosions, and toxic exposures
• Unsafe property conditions, including fatal falls and violent crime enabled by negligent security
• Defective products or equipment that should never have reached the public
• Medical negligence that leads to a preventable death

Each of these situations is different, but they all share one truth: the loss could have been prevented. Our job is to prove that clearly and conclusively to get families what they need to recover and move forward.

Why Texas Law Allows Wrongful Death Claims

Wrongful death laws exist because the harm from a fatal incident reaches far beyond the person who was killed. A spouse loses a partner. Children lose a parent. Parents lose a child. Income vanishes, support disappears, and an entire family’s path changes overnight. The harm from these things is as serious as any catastrophic injury. The law allows certain surviving family members to pursue a wrongful death claim so that the financial weight of that loss is not carried entirely by the people who were already hurt the most.

These claims serve a broader purpose, too. They prevent companies and individuals from avoiding responsibility just because the person they harmed cannot speak for themselves. When a jury holds a negligent driver, employer, property owner, or corporation accountable, it sends a message that safety matters—that cutting corners has consequences. In that way, wrongful death cases can help protect other families from facing the same tragedy.
