Why Call a Wrongful Death Lawyer?
Responsible Parties Should Be Held Accountable
Those who are at fault in a wrongful death case should be held liable for the pain and suffering they have caused. Whether the responsible party is an individual or a larger entity like a trucking company, the manufacturer of a faulty medical device or a pharmaceutical company that released a defective drug, there should be consequences for causing a wrongful death.
You Deserve Compensation
When a loved one is unexpectedly lost, it can put significant financial pressure on the family. Besides funeral expenses, the family may have to come up with money to cover medical bills and property damage. On top of that, they may have to adjust to life without the deceased's income. By working with our law offices to file a wrongful death claim, you can be awarded compensation to cover these damages and potentially more.

Wrongful Death Causes
For over 25 years, the attorneys of the Reed & Terry Law Firm in Sugar Land, TX, have handled all kinds of personal injury cases, including the most serious cases that involve wrongful death. We can help you file a wrongful death lawsuit if you have lost a loved one due to:
Car Accidents
According to the Texas Department of Transportation, 3,610 people were killed in traffic accidents in Texas in 2019. That means one person was killed every two hours and 26 minutes. When someone you love is killed in a car accident, whether because of another driver's negligence or some other cause, our law firm can help you file a wrongful death claim.
Truck Accidents
Accidents involving large trucks caused 708 fatalities in Texas in 2019, according to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. Wrongful death cases involving large trucks can be even more complicated than typical car accidents because several entities can be held liable. Our Sugar Land law firm is up to the task when your family needs to file a wrongful death claim after a tragic truck accident.
Medical Malpractice
A recent study by Johns Hopkins Medicine calculated that medical malpractice leads to about 250,000 deaths in the United States every year, making it our country's third leading cause of death. A wrongful death lawsuit involving medical malpractice can be complex. That's why our Sugar Land law firm has a network of expert witnesses that we can call on to review your case and determine if your loved one's passing was indeed a wrongful death.
Construction Accidents
Construction is dangerous work. If you have lost a loved one because of a construction accident, contact our law offices. Our personal injury attorneys can review the details of your case and help you file a wrongful death lawsuit.
Slip and Fall Accidents
Property owners have a responsibility to maintain a safe, hazard-free environment. When a serious slip and fall or trip and fall results in wrongful death, contact our Sugar Land law firm. We can investigate the circumstances of the fall and file a wrongful death claim to get your family the compensation you deserve.
Sport Accidents
Sporting injuries can result in fatalities. Our Sugar Land wrongful death attorneys can review the circumstances of a deadly sports injury to determine if an individual, a league or a product manufacturer may bear responsibility. If they do, we can file a wrongful death lawsuit.
Swimming Pool Accidents
Swimming pools can be dangerous. According to the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, 87 children drowned in Texas in 2020, and many of these tragedies occurred in private or public pools. If you have lost a loved one in a swimming pool, the pool owner or pool operator may be legally responsible. Request a free consultation with our Sugar Land wrongful death lawyers to discuss filing a claim.

Through a wrongful death lawsuit, you can potentially receive compensation for:
- Funeral expenses
