Austin, Texas (May 13, 2020) – The person who was killed Friday afternoon in a three-vehicle crash that left four other people injured in North Austin has been identified as 66-year-old James Henry Omary, according to police.

The deadly crash took place around 3:00 p.m. May 8, in the 12300 block of Metric Boulevard.

Police said a tan 2004 GMC SUV and a white 2018 Hino van were traveling southbound when they collided for unknown reasons.

Who May Make a Wrongful Death Claim in Texas?

A wrongful death claim for a family member may be brought by spouses, children, or parents. The State of Texas also allows the estate of the deceased to bring a survival action to recover for past medical expenses and conscious pain and suffering, as well as other non-economic damages which the deceased may have suffered before death. Texas does not permit brothers, sisters, cousins, or grandparents to assert any claims for the death of a family member.

Wrongful death claims require an attorney who understands the complexity of the damages caused by a significant loss. The lawyer representing the client has the responsibility to hire the necessary experts to help prove the case.
