Wrongful Death: Compassionate Advocacy, Aggressive Results

Your family deserves peace, not a marathon legal battle.

Losing a loved one due to someone else’s negligence is an unimaginable burden. While no amount of money can replace a life, the financial reality of funeral costs, lost income, and unpaid medical bills can quickly become a second crisis for a grieving family.

At Jones & Koch, we believe that the legal process shouldn’t add to your trauma. Many large firms treat wrongful death cases as "trophy files"—they aim for the largest possible headline, even if it means dragging your family through half a decade of painful depositions, emotional trials, and constant reminders of your loss.

We take a different path. We focus on Resolution over Retribution. By utilizing our advanced StreamSettle technology and our "litigation-ready" demand process, we aim to get your family the maximum recovery in the shortest time possible. We want to provide you with the financial security you need to move forward, without the "Three D" games (Delay, Deny, Defend) that companies use to exhaust grieving families.

Why Jones & Koch?

Choosing a firm for a wrongful death case is a massive decision. Here is why families across Corpus Christi, Houston, and the State of Texas trust us:

The Power of Two Cities (Corpus Heart, Houston Muscle)

You aren't just hiring a local lawyer; you are hiring a team that spans Texas’s most critical legal landscapes.

In Corpus Christi: Yo have Sean Koch, a third-generation legal legacy. We know the community, the courts, and the local values. We treat you like a neighbor because we are neighbors.

In Houston: You have Joe Jones, a Board Certified Personal Injury Trial Specialist and former Marine Judge Advocate. Houston is one of the most competitive legal markets in the country; having a partner there gives our firm the elite resources and "big city" trial experience necessary to take on global insurance corporations.

We Combat the "Three Ds" from Day One

The Power of Two Cities (Corpus Heart, Houston Muscle)

Insurance companies often look at wrongful death claims and see a high-dollar liability they want to "Delay, Deny, and Defend."

They Delay to wait for your resolve to break.
They Deny liability to shift blame onto the deceased.
They Defend by dragging out discovery for years.

We stop this by delivering a Litigation-Ready Demand immediately. We don't send a letter; we send a "Trial-in-a-Box."

When an insurance adjuster sees our demand, they see expert testimony, accident analysis, and a Board Certified trial strategy. We force them to see that settling now is the only logical choice.

A Direct Line to Your Attorney

Wrongful death cases are complex. If a defendant refuses to be fair during our pre-litigation phase, we don't just "try our best."

Instead, we activate our Vetted Litigation Network. Because we partner with the top trial-focused firms in Texas, you get the combined manpower of two law firms for a single contingency fee that never goes up when we bring in our litigation network.

We remain your primary point of contact, ensuring you always have an attorney to talk to, while our litigation partners provide the additional "war chest" needed for a high-stakes courtroom battle.

A Direct Line to Your Attorney

In large "billboard" firms, wrongful death clients are often handed off to paralegals or junior associates. At Jones & Koch, you deal with us. From day one, you will have the direct contact information for the attorneys handling your case. We handle the "hand-offs" to trial partners personally so you never have to repeat your story or feel like a number in a system.
