What Is a Wrongful Death Claim in Texas?

A wrongful death occurs when another person or company’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional actions lead to someone’s death. These cases can arise from:

  • Vehicle accidents
  • Truck or commercial vehicle crashes
  • Workplace or industrial accidents
  • Medical negligence
  • Defective products
  • Unsafe property conditions
  • Violent acts

Texas law allows immediate family members to file a wrongful death claim to seek compensation and hold the responsible party accountable.

Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim?

In Texas, the following individuals may take legal action:

  • Spouse
  • Children
  • Parents

If these family members do not file a claim within a certain period, the estate’s representative may do so on their behalf.

Compensation Available in a Wrongful Death Case

Although no amount of money can replace your loved one, compensation can help your family stay financially stable and secure. Damages you may recover include:

  • Loss of financial support
  • Loss of companionship, care, and emotional guidance
  • Mental anguish suffered by surviving family
  • Funeral and burial expenses
  • Medical costs related to the fatal injury
  • Loss of household services
  • Potential punitive damages in cases of extreme negligence

Peter Smith takes the time to understand how the loss has impacted your family so he can pursue the full compensation you deserve.
