Understanding Wrongful Death Claims in Texas
In Texas, a wrongful death claim can be filed when a person’s death is caused by the wrongful act, neglect, carelessness, unskillfulness, or default of another. Eligible parties to file such a claim include:
- Spouse of the deceased
- Children of the deceased
- 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 all eligible parties request otherwise.
Compensation in Wrongful Death Cases
While each case is unique, compensation may cover:
- Medical and funeral expenses
- Loss of the deceased’s earning capacity
- Loss of inheritance
- Mental anguish and emotional pain
- Loss of companionship, society, and support
Common Causes of Wrongful Death
Wrongful death can result from various incidents, including:
- Car and truck accidents
- Workplace accidents
- Medical malpractice
- Defective products
- Premises liability incidents
Take the First Step Towards Justice
