EVERY CLIENT'S STORY MATTERS
Our Pasadena Fatal Truck Accident Attorneys Aggressively Pursue Compensation for Your Loss
Mario did a great job on my case. He was extremely responsive and easy to work with. Thank you Mario and team for all your help. – Elizabeth W.
No family should ever lose a loved one in a truck accident, yet this tragedy occurs all too often in Texas. With our help, families can hold the responsible parties accountable.
Our team of experienced wrongful death attorneys works diligently to obtain maximum compensation for the loss our clients have endured.
After a fatal Pasadena truck accident, certain surviving family members can pursue a wrongful death action.
A wrongful death action is a type of personal injury claim that family members can bring to obtain compensation for the loss of their loved one. Spouses, children and parents have the right under Texas law to file a wrongful death claim to obtain compensation for their losses.
While no amount of money can make a family whole after a loved one is killed, just compensation to family members can help relieve financial burdens caused by the loss. Also, when truck drivers and trucking companies are held accountable for their wrongdoing, other drivers and trucking companies are discouraged from engaging in dangerous and negligent practices.
At The de la Garza Law Group, we recognize that this is an exceptionally challenging time for you and your family and do everything possible to make the process as easy on you as possible. We have decades of experience handling fatal Pasadena truck accident claims and know what it takes to be successful.
Because we take our responsibility to clients seriously, we are always here to answer your questions and help you in any way we can.

Common Causes of Fatal Pasadena Truck Accidents
Truck drivers are responsible for safely operating their vehicles, and trucking companies are responsible for properly maintaining their rigs. Driving a semi-truck has its unique challenges and requires the full attention of a highly trained driver.
Most truck drivers do everything possible to stay safe on the road, but unfortunately, job pressures and fatigue can cause drivers to act carelessly. As a result, many fatal Pasadena truck accidents result from driver negligence. The following are among the most common causes of truck accidents:
- Impaired driving
- Distracted driving
- Aggressive driving
- Truck equipment defects
- Fatigued driving
Regardless of the negligent behavior that caused your loved one’s truck accident, we can help. Our dedicated team of experienced Pasadena fatal truck accident lawyers confidently represents clients throughout the process, from pre-trial settlement negotiations to trial, if necessary.
THE DE LA GARZA LAW GROUP CAN HELP
Damages Available in a Texas Wrongful Death Action
Nothing can bring back a family member who was killed in a senseless Pasadena truck accident. However, the surviving spouses, children and parents may seek damages through wrongful death claims. Monetary damages consist of actual damages, and in some cases, exemplary (or punitive) damages.
Actual damages include:
- Pecuniary losses
- Mental anguish
- Loss of companionship and society
- Loss of inheritance
Pecuniary losses encompass an array of harms family members may have suffered after a fatal accident. Pecuniary losses include the loss of the decedent's earning capacity, as well as the loss of advice, counsel, services, care, maintenance and support. Pecuniary losses may also include expenses for any psychological treatment surviving family members required because of the tragedy.
Loss of inheritance is defined as the present value that the victim would, in reasonable probability, have added to the estate and left at natural death to the statutory beneficiaries, had the wrongful conduct not caused their death.
When clear and convincing evidence shows that the wrongdoer acted with gross negligence, the victims may be entitled to punitive damages.
"Gross negligence" means an act or omission:
(A) which when viewed objectively from the standpoint of the actor at the time of its occurrence involves an extreme degree of risk, considering the probability and magnitude of the potential harm to others; and
(B) of which the actor has actual, subjective awareness of the risk involved, but nevertheless proceeds with conscious indifference to the rights, safety, or welfare of others.

I would definitely use Mario again.
The one thing that made me at ease with him was that when I would text him, I would get a response every time within 10 minutes or less. There was always an answer from him every time I had a question. He was always on time or a few minutes early when we had to meet up for things pertaining to my case. He would even work & reach out to me about my case on Saturdays & Sundays (7 days a week). I would definitely use Mario again if needed and would highly recommend him to someone else needing an attorney. - Robert C.

It’s like a breath of fresh air having someone like Mario fight for you.
I have been a client of Mr. De la Garza two times now where he shows professionalism and honesty and a definite care for the people he represents.

I hope not to have any more accidents but if I did I will look forward to working with him again! – Ashley V.
