Wrongful Death in Texas: A Family’s Guide to Justice After a Preventable Loss
Wrongful Death in Texas: A Family’s Guide to Justice After a Preventable Loss
No amount of money brings someone back — but justice can secure your family’s future.
The Hardest Case We Handle
Losing someone you love because another person made a careless or reckless choice is one of life’s most devastating experiences. Whether the death happened in a truck wreck on I-45, a drunk driving crash near Conroe, or a negligent incident at a business in The Woodlands, the pain is beyond words.
Under Texas law, families have the right to hold wrongdoers accountable — not just to seek compensation, but to force change that may prevent future tragedies.
Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim?
Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code §71 allows:
- Spouses
- Children (including adopted)
- Parents
to pursue a civil claim against those responsible.
If they do not bring a case within a certain timeframe, the estate may file a survival action on behalf of the deceased.
What Damages Are Recoverable?
We pursue full and fair compensation for:
- Loss of companionship and emotional support
- Lost income and inheritance
- Medical bills before passing
- Funeral and burial expenses
- Mental anguish and emotional suffering
- Punitive damages for reckless behavior
This case is about accountability — and making sure your family is financially protected.
The Urgency of Evidence
Businesses fix hazards. Vehicles are repaired or destroyed. Surveillance is erased. Witness memories fade. We act quickly to:
- Secure time-sensitive evidence
- Preserve vehicle data records
- Gather witness testimony and 911 data
- Work with experts to prove causation
Your family should not face an aggressive insurance company alone.
