What Is the Difference Between a Personal Injury Claim and a Wrongful Death Claim?

A personal injury claim seeks compensation for the injured pedestrian’s losses caused by another’s negligence. A wrongful death claim seeks compensation for the family’s losses when a pedestrian dies because of someone else’s negligence.

If you or a loved one were injured, a personal injury claim can address the medical bills, income lost during recovery, and the pain and limitations your injuries have caused. The focus is on how the collision has affected your health, finances, and daily life.

If a loved one died, a wrongful death claim allows eligible surviving family members to seek compensation for their own losses. These may include the funeral and burial expenses, financial support their loved one would have provided, the loss of companionship, and the mental anguish caused by the death.

How Do I Determine If I Have a Valid Claim?

You may have a valid claim if a driver’s negligence caused your injuries, your loved one’s injuries, or their death. To establish negligence, we need evidence that supports the following four elements:

• Duty of care. The driver had a responsibility to use reasonable care to avoid hurting pedestrians. That includes watching for people crossing the road and yielding when required by law.
• Causation. The driver’s careless conduct must have caused the injury or death, and the harm must have been reasonably foreseeable.
• Damages. In a personal injury claim, you must show losses from your injuries, such as medical bills, missed income, and physical pain. In a wrongful death claim, eligible surviving family members must show their losses from the death, such as lost financial support and lost companionship.

At Daws Legal, we review police reports, witness accounts, available recordings, and medical records to assess whether you have a valid claim. We explain our findings, identify any issues that require further investigation, and advise you on the next steps to pursue compensation.

How Long Do I Have to File a Pedestrian Accident Lawsuit?

Texas generally gives you two years from the date of the collision to file a personal injury lawsuit. When a pedestrian dies from their injuries, the two-year deadline for a wrongful death lawsuit generally begins on the date of death, which may be later than the accident date.

These deadlines apply to filing a lawsuit in court. Reporting the accident to an insurer does not satisfy that requirement, and missing the deadline can prevent you from pursuing compensation through a lawsuit. Limited exceptions may allow additional time.  

At Daws Legal, we review the relevant dates and any circumstances that could affect your deadline, including legal exceptions that may extend or shorten it.

Do I Need to Hire a Frisco, TX Pedestrian Accident Attorney?

Hiring an attorney can be especially helpful when injuries are serious, the insurer disputes your claim, or a loved one has died. A Frisco, TX pedestrian accident lawyer at Daws Legal can take over the insurance and legal work so you can focus on your health and family.

Here is how we can help:

• Gathering evidence. We obtain police reports, contact witnesses, and seek available video footage. These records help us address disagreements about how the collision happened and who was responsible.
• Challenging insurance tactics. We handle insurer communications and push back against attempts to shift blame onto you or minimize the driver’s responsibility.
• Assessing your losses. We review supporting records and the accident’s impact on your life to estimate your claim’s potential value. That assessment helps us develop a settlement demand based on the losses the evidence supports.
• Negotiating and preparing for court. We present a settlement demand supported by the evidence and negotiate on your behalf. When negotiations do not produce a fair resolution, we discuss whether to file a lawsuit and pursue your case in court.

At Daws Legal, you have direct access to your attorney throughout this process. You can ask questions about an offer, discuss concerns, and understand the next steps without relying on messages passed through a case manager.
