Wrongful Death Claims in Texas
Losing a loved one to someone else’s negligence is devastating. While no amount of money can replace them, a wrongful death claim provides financial security for surviving family members and holds the responsible party accountable.
Common Wrongful Death Causes
• Car, truck, and motorcycle accidents
• Medical malpractice
• Workplace accidents
• Defective products
• Criminal acts (assault, DWI manslaughter)
• Premises liability (unsafe property conditions)
Who Can File
Under Texas law, surviving spouses, children, and parents of the deceased may file a wrongful death claim. The estate may also file a survival action for damages the deceased experienced before death.
Recoverable Damages
Lost income and financial support, loss of companionship and guidance, mental anguish, funeral and burial expenses, and medical costs from the final injury. We work with economists and life-care planners to calculate the full value of your claim.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to file a wrongful death claim?
Texas has a two-year statute of limitations from the date of death. Don’t wait — gathering evidence early is critical.
What damages can we recover?
Lost income and financial support, loss of companionship, mental anguish, funeral expenses, and medical costs. We work with experts to calculate the full value.
Can we file a wrongful death claim if there are criminal charges?
Yes. Criminal cases and civil wrongful death claims are separate. You can pursue both simultaneously, and the civil burden of proof is lower.
Do wrongful death cases go to trial?
Most settle, but we prepare every case for trial. Insurance companies offer better settlements when they know you have trial-ready attorneys.
