Wrongful Death Lawyers

Representing Families of Wrongful Death Victims

When someone else's negligence causes the wrongful death of a loved one, the consequences can be devastating. Whether the accident involved a refinery explosion, truck collision, dangerous drug, or some other accident you may have the right to sue the at-fault party.

At the Dean Law Firm, we understand how difficult it can be for surviving family members to deal with the loss of a relative. Our firm works closely with the families of wrongful death victims, helping them hold the negligent parties accountable and deal with the changed circumstances of their lives.

Comprehensive Wrongful Death Representation

Our firm handles a range of wrongful death cases, including:

  • Refinery accidents
  • Trucking company mistakes
  • Vehicle manufacturers hiding problems from the public
  • Overworked doctors incorrectly diagnosing or treating patients

Regardless of the specific circumstances in your case, we will work to obtain maximum compensation for you. While a monetary award will not bring your loved one back, it will go a long way toward paying medical bills, funeral expenses and providing for the remaining family members.

How an Attorney Can Help

Our firm works hard to help clients through this emotional and frightening time. Attorney James Christopher Dean is a Christian lawyer who will meet with you to discuss the case and what the next year of your life will be like. If you decide to move forward with a lawsuit, we will launch an independent investigation into the accident.

We will consult with relevant specialists, including doctors, accident reconstructionists and industry experts, to gather information. We will then build a strong case, handling all communications with insurance companies.

Our firm believes it is best to resolve wrongful death cases amicably when possible. To that end, we will invite the opposition into peace talks. However, we prepare each case as though it will go to trial and will be ready to represent your interests in the courtroom.

Free Initial Consultation With a Texas Lawyer

To arrange an appointment, contact us online or call our office in Houston at 855-280-8900. We offer evening, weekend and off-site meetings for your convenience. Foreign language services are available.

We handle wrongful death cases on a contingency fee basis. That means you owe us nothing unless we recover compensation for you. Since we value offering quality legal services at reasonable prices, we typically charge less than the standard rates for our area.
