Who Can Bring a Dallas Wrongful Death Claim?
Under Texas law, a surviving spouse, children and parents can bring a wrongful death claim. A wrongful death claim must be brought within two (2) years of the death. An executor or estate representative can also bring a claim on behalf of the beneficiaries of the estate if the family has not filed a claim within three months of the death.
What Kind of Compensation Can Family Receive?
A financial recovery in a wrongful death case can include:
- Final medical bills
- Funeral and burial expenses
- The pain and suffering endured by your loved one before death
- The mental anguish suffered by family members
- The loss of future wages, future services, parental guidance, love and companionship
While no amount of money will fill the void ofa loved one’s absence, a settlement can provide the financial stability your family needs to move forward after a tragedy.
