Arlington Fatal Car Accident Lawyer

Losing a family member in a car accident is an unimaginable tragedy. In the aftermath, you're dealing with grief, funeral arrangements, and suddenly uncertain finances — all at once. Patterson Law Group handles the legal fight so your family can focus on healing. Under Texas law (§71.004), the surviving spouse, children, and parents of the deceased can bring wrongful death claims. We pursue the at-fault driver, their insurer, and any other liable parties. Our firm achieved one of the largest wrongful death settlements in Texas history in 2024 — an 8-figure result — and we bring that same tenacity to every fatal accident case we handle.

What You Can Recover

Texas Law — Key Facts

You have two years from the date of your accident to file suit in Texas (§16.003). Texas modified comparative fault (§33.001) allows recovery even if you were partially at fault — as long as you were less than 51% responsible. Your damages are reduced by your percentage of fault.

Never accept a settlement without speaking to an attorney first. Initial offers rarely reflect the true value of your claim.
