Commentary Though
very few details have been released, I can say with certainty that this
is a tragic situation. Because many relevant factors may not be apparent
at the incident, a third party investigation is needed to reveal causal
links to the accident. The findings of the investigation would help to
develop a strategy moving forward regarding any potential civil remedies
from the collision. To have standing in wrongful death claim,
a few elements must be met. A liable party must be identified from the
accident. Beyond that, the liable party's negligent participation must
have contributed to the accident. From there, a claim must have
survivors who are eligible under Texas state law to file on behalf of
the victim, and they must be able to show a tangible economic loss from
the accident.
