What Qualifies as a Wrongful Death Claim
Under Texas law, a wrongful death claim may arise whenever a death is caused by the wrongful act or negligence of another person or entity.
Common circumstances behind a wrongful death claim can be:
- Car and truck accidents
- Workplace accidents
- Medical negligence
- Defective products
- Criminal acts
- Offshore accidents
Certain family members, typically a surviving spouse, children, and parents, are entitled to bring a wrongful death claim to recover damages that are separate from any criminal proceeding that may also be underway.
What Compensation May Cover
Every family’s circumstances are different, and our attorneys take the time to understand your specific losses rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach.
Texas wrongful death claims can allow surviving family members to recover compensation for:
- Lost earnings and financial support the deceased would have provided
- Loss of companionship
- Loss of care
- Loss of guidance
- Funeral and burial expenses
- Medical expenses related to the fatal injury
- Mental anguish endured by surviving family members
Even though these claims are brought forward by grieving, deserving families, wrongful death cases are often contested aggressively by insurance companies and defense attorneys. Because these claims can lead to significant financial damages, companies are loathe to pay full compensation. Families need to be represented by attorneys that won’t be pressured into an inadequate settlement simply to close the file quickly.
