Wrongful Death

For more than 65 years, The Law Offices of Flint, Crawford & Cogburn has been the law firm people turn to in times of tragedy in the Ark-La-Tex region of northeast Texas, southwest Arkansas, northwest Louisiana, and parts of Oklahoma.

When a 15-year-old boy was killed by a delivery van in Arkansas in 2005, our lawyers settled the case for $1.5 million, and it was one of the largest wrongful death settlements for a minor child in Arkansas history. We have represented families who are dealing with the loss of a loved one in:

• Fatal auto accidents
• Fatal trucking accidents
• Fatal motorcycle accidents
• Fatal hunting accidents
• Other types of fatal accidents

At The Law Offices of Flint, Crawford & Cogburn, we give families time to mourn when they have lost a loved one. We don’t put pressure on clients to sign on the dotted line. We give people as much time as they need to think about who they want to represent them.

Insurance companies, however, will sometimes not wait an appropriate time before contacting family members of a wrongful death victim. They often arrive on the scene shortly afterward with release forms they want family members to sign. However insistent the insurance adjuster may be, you should never sign any form without first speaking to an attorney who is experienced in handling wrongful death lawsuits.

Our first step in any wrongful death case is to find out how the accident really happened. The negligent party may give his version of how the accident happened. Our lawyers will represent your family and hire investigators to search out the truth.

Our lawyers will help your family do what needs to be done legally to preserve your rights to compensation. When minor children are involved as beneficiaries, our lawyers can create structured settlements that pay out benefits over time.
