What is a Wrongful Death Claim?

A wrongful death claim arises when an individual's life is taken due to the negligence, recklessness, or intentional actions of another party. These claims aim to provide surviving family members with financial compensation for their loss and to hold the negligent party accountable. Common causes of wrongful death include:

• Car and motorcycle accidents
• Truck and 18-wheeler accidents
• Medical malpractice
• Workplace accidents
• Defective products
• Drunk driving accidents
• Premises liability incidents

Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim in Texas?

Under Texas law, the following individuals may be eligible to file a wrongful death claim:

• Spouse of the deceased
• Children (biological or adopted)
• Parents of the deceased

If none of these parties file a claim within three months of the death, the executor or administrator of the deceased's estate may pursue the claim unless specifically requested not to by the eligible family members.

Types of Compensation in a Wrongful Death Case

Families of wrongful death victims may be entitled to compensation for:

• Funeral and burial expenses
• Loss of financial support and future income
• Medical expenses incurred prior to death
• Loss of companionship, love, and guidance
• Emotional pain and suffering
• Punitive damages (in cases of gross negligence or intentional harm)

Our attorneys work diligently to calculate the full extent of your damages and ensure you receive fair compensation.
