Clear Answers

Strategic FAQs.

In Texas, the surviving spouse, children, and parents of the deceased may file wrongful death claims. If none of these exist, the estate may file a survival action. The specific rules depend on family relationships and circumstances.
Recoverable damages include: lost income and benefits the deceased would have earned, medical expenses, funeral and burial costs, loss of companionship and emotional support, and in some cases, the deceased's pain and suffering before death.
Generally, you have two years from the date of death to file a wrongful death lawsuit in Texas. However, there are exceptions, and the deadline can be complex. It's critical to consult an attorney immediately.
Yes. Wrongful death claims are civil cases, separate from any criminal proceedings. A criminal conviction can strengthen a wrongful death case, but you don't need to wait for criminal proceedings to file a civil claim.
All eligible family members typically file together in a single wrongful death claim. We help families navigate these situations, ensuring all eligible parties are included and that any settlement or verdict is distributed fairly according to Texas law.
