Wrongful death

The loss of a loved one becomes exponentially more difficult to deal with when their death could have been prevented. Though there is no way to bring back your family member, you do have the right to file a wrongful death claim if his or her passing was a direct result of an individual's, company's, or entity's misconduct or negligence.  Our wrongful death attorneys help plaintiffs in wrongful death actions sue for—

  • The decedent's pain and suffering prior to their death
  • Medical costs
  • Funeral and burial expenses
  • Punitive damages
  • Loss of protection and guidance
  • Loss of service of the family member
  • Loss of love and companionship
  • Loss of support and future earnings

Our lawyers understand and are sensitive to how traumatic a wrongful death lawsuit can be for the decedent's survivors. We treat your case with the compassion and respect your family deserves.  We have helped many families through a wide variety of wrongful death cases and are here to do the same for you.

FAQs on personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits

Q. What is a contingency fee?
A. A contingency fee is a billing structure where clients pay nothing for a lawyer or law firm's services unless their claims settle favorably. It is often used in cases where clients may not have enough money to pay for lawsuits on their own.  If successful, attorneys receive a percentage of the client's verdict or personal injury settlement.

Q. What is the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim?  Is it different for wrongful death cases?
A. The statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim in Texas is two years from the date of or reasonable discovery of your injuries.  The same statute of limitations applies to wrongful death claims.

Q. Who is allowed to file a wrongful death claim?
A. States determine who is allowed to file a wrongful death suit. Texas wrongful death law says that the deceased's surviving spouse, children, parents, and heirs can file a wrongful death lawsuit.
