San Antonio injury lawyer Eunice Fernandez Moore explains the types of damages a family can recover after a teenager is killed in a rollover crash, including funeral costs, medical bills, pain and suffering, and loss of consortium.

What Can a Family Recover After a Teen Is Killed in a West Texas Rollover Crash?

If a teenager were killed in a rollover crash, the kinds of losses that a family could actually recover include funeral costs, medical bills, pain, physical pain from the loss because that is a very real circumstance as well as mental torment, suffering from the loss of the relationship. And that is called loss of consortium. A parent child relationship is a very beautiful thing. And when a child teenager has deceased, those family members that survive are absolutely in a position to recover these elements of what are called damages.

Establishing Fault

Fault is established primarily. And if there is negligence, then the family can recover. If the teenager were to lose control on his own without negligence on the part of a different party, then there would not be a recovery. It's important to hire a lawyer to be able to make that determination.
