Wrongful Death Lawyer in San Antonio
Losing someone you love because of another person’s carelessness is a pain no family should have to carry. Nothing can undo that loss. But you should not also have to carry the financial weight of medical bills, funeral costs, and a future suddenly changed — all while an insurance company looks for ways to pay as little as possible. You deserve someone in your corner who will fight for justice and treat your family with the care this moment demands.
At Fernandez Moore Injury Law, we’ve handled thousands of injury claims for Texans and recovered more than $10,000,000 for hurting families. Wrongful death and catastrophic loss are at the heart of what we do. Led by Eunice Moore, who understands loss and spent over 25 years inside the insurance industry, we hold negligent parties accountable while carrying the burden of the legal fight so you can focus on your family and your healing.
What Is a Wrongful Death Claim in Texas?
Under Texas law, a wrongful death claim allows certain family members to seek compensation when a loved one dies because of another party’s negligence or wrongful act. These claims can arise from car and truck crashes, workplace accidents, unsafe premises, and more. A separate “survival” claim may also allow the estate to recover for what your loved one endured before passing. We’ll explain your options clearly and gently.

Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim
After a crash, the other driver’s insurer may call quickly and sound helpful. They aren’t on your side. Their goal is to settle fast and cheap — often before you understand the full extent of your injuries. They may offer a quick check, downplay your pain, or push you to sign away your rights. Because Eunice Moore spent 25+ years in the insurance world, we recognize these tactics immediately and protect you from them.
Types of Car Accident Cases We Handle
Texas law limits who may bring a wrongful death claim, generally to the closest family members:
- The surviving spouse
- The children of the person who passed
- The parents of the person who passed
These family members may file individually or together. If they do not file within a certain time, the estate’s representative may. We’ll help you understand exactly where your family stands.
Compensation a Family May Recover
No amount of money can replace your loved one. But a claim can ease the financial burden and hold the responsible party accountable. Depending on the case, compensation may include medical and funeral expenses, lost financial support and benefits, loss of the care, companionship, and guidance your loved one provided, and the family’s mental and emotional anguish. In some cases, additional damages may apply where the conduct was especially reckless.
How We Help — With Strength and Compassion
We handle every part of the legal process so you don’t have to face the insurance company during the worst days of your life. We investigate what happened, identify everyone responsible, preserve evidence, and pursue the full compensation your family is owed. Throughout, we move at your pace and treat your family the way we would want ours treated.

There are never any up-front costs. We advance every expense of the case, and you pay nothing unless we recover for your family. When you call, a live person answers every time — ready to arrange a free, private consultation in person, by phone, or on Zoom, whenever you are ready.
