A former client once said, “I never imagined that my husband would be killed in an accident.” Unfortunately, accidents do happen and can happen to anyone at any time.

In the State of Texas, wrongful death cases generally belong to the estate of the deceased person and other designated beneficiaries, such as a surviving spouse, surviving children, or surviving parents. If you are
the surviving spouse, child, or parent of a loved one who has been killed as a result of a trucking accident, automobile accident, construction accident, drunk driver-related accident, workplace accident, or as a
result of a dangerous or defective product, contact Steven immediately.

A claim or litigation will never replace your loved one, but it may help replace various economic damages resulting from the death and allow recovery for such damages as pain, suffering, mental anguish, loss of
support, and loss of the love, companionship, comfort, care, assistance, and protection provided by your deceased loved one.

If you have a wrongful death case you would like to submit, please contact Steven at 409-951-2333.

Motor vehicle accidents are a leading cause of death in the United States

According to data collected by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), there were 306,086 injury-related deaths in 2021, with 45,404 of the deaths occurring as a result of motor vehicle accidents. The sad truth is
that wrongful deaths occur daily, and the consequences are devastating for the surviving loved ones, both emotionally and economically.

For over three decades, Steven Toups has been helping the families of Southeast Texans pursue justice following the wrongful death of a loved one. Let Steven use his three decades of experience to help your family recover from the devastating effects of the death of a loved one. In a wrongful death case, the surviving spouse, children, and parents of the deceased loved one may recover the following damages:

Pecuniary losses

Mental anguish

Loss of companionship and society

Loss of inheritance

Should I contact a Beaumont wrongful death lawyer regarding a wrongful death case involving a family member?

The answer is almost always yes. The families of wrongful death victims typically do not know their rights after the wrongful death of a loved one. At a time when your family is reeling from the loss, handling a legal
case against the responsible party, their insurance company, and their attorneys is the last thing you should attempt. Wrongful death cases are complex and involve issues with handling the deceased loved one’s
estate, investigating the circumstances of the accident, and expert witness testimony to prove liability and damages. Typical wrongful death cases can involve testimony from experts such as economists, accident reconstructionists, and engineers.

It is important to contact a lawyer as soon as possible after the wrongful death of a loved one, as the responsible party's insurance company and their attorneys will have started their investigation immediately. Remember that your claim has a strict statute of limitations after which your claim will be forever barred. In Texas, the statute is generally two years from the date of the accident, with a few exceptions involving minors, incapacitated individuals, and active-duty military.

Contact Steven as soon as possible after your accident so he can begin investigating your case. You can leave the legal issues with him while you focus on your recovery.

Hire a local lawyer with three decades of experience

Your case is too important to be handled by an out-of-town lawyer with no connection to Southeast Texas. Steven was born in Beaumont, attended Beaumont schools, and graduated with high honors from Lamar University. After law school, he returned to his hometown to work as a lawyer and raise his family. He loves Southeast Texas and is dedicated to helping his fellow Southeast Texans who have been victims
of serious accidents.

Don’t trust out-of-town lawyers claiming to be Beaumont lawyers. Ask them where they live, where they were born, where they work, and where they currently raise their own family. Let Steven put his 30 years of experience to work for you.
