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.

If you lost someone due to negligence, we will carry the fight for you.

Informational only — not legal advice. Contact an attorney for guidance on your specific case.
