No amount of money can bring back a loved one, but it can ensure your family isn't victimized a second time by financial ruin. At Mundy & Associates, we hold the negligent parties accountable for the full value of the life lost — from lost future earnings to the loss of companionship.
A survival action recovers damages for the pain and suffering your loved one endured before passing — from the moment of injury to the moment of death. This includes their medical expenses, their physical pain, and their emotional anguish. This claim belongs to the estate and ensures the responsible party answers for every moment of suffering they caused.
We use expert economists to calculate the decades of lost salary, benefits, retirement contributions, and household services your family is now missing. A 35-year-old earning $75,000 per year represents over $2 million in lost future income alone — though every case is different — before accounting for raises, promotions, and benefits. Insurance companies don't volunteer this math. We force them to face it.
In the days and weeks after losing someone, the last thing you should deal with is insurance companies, medical bills, and legal paperwork. We take all of that off your plate completely. Dennis and Matt sit with families at their kitchen tables, answer calls at night and on weekends, and never rush a grieving family. You focus on your family. We focus on justice.
A wrongful death claim exists when someone dies because of another person's or company's negligence, recklessness, or intentional act. The surviving spouse, children, and parents of the deceased have the right to bring this claim. These cases seek compensation for everything your family has lost and will continue to lose.
Lost Financial Support: The income, benefits, retirement contributions, and financial security your loved one would have provided over the course of their working life. We use forensic economists to calculate this figure — including future raises, promotions, and career trajectory — to ensure the full economic impact is accounted for.
Loss of Companionship: The emotional support, love, comfort, counsel, and guidance that your spouse, parent, or child provided. For surviving children, this includes the loss of parental guidance during their most formative years. For surviving spouses, the loss of a life partner and co-parent. No dollar amount replaces this — but Texas law recognizes its value.
Mental Anguish: The emotional suffering, grief, and psychological impact of losing a family member to someone else's negligence. This is real, it is measurable, and the responsible party owes your family for it.
Funeral & Medical Expenses: All costs associated with the funeral, burial or cremation, and any medical treatment between the injury and death.
We represent families in every type of wrongful death case: fatal car accidents caused by distracted, drunk, or reckless drivers on Houston's most dangerous roads. Fatal 18-wheeler and commercial truck crashes. Workplace fatalities at refineries, chemical plants, and construction sites. Deaths caused by medical malpractice or hospital negligence. Nursing home deaths from neglect, falls, or medication errors. Pedestrians and cyclists killed by careless drivers. Fatal offshore and maritime accidents in the Gulf.
These cases also serve a purpose beyond money. They hold the responsible party accountable and send a message that cutting corners on safety, driving recklessly, or neglecting patients has consequences. Many of the families we represent tell us that accountability matters as much as the financial recovery.
