PRACTICE AREA
Wrongful Death
We know no case can undo a loss like this. Our role is to hold the responsible party accountable and secure what support we can for your family — handled with the care the situation calls for.
Two claims, often pursued together
Texas law recognizes two distinct claims after a fatal accident. A wrongful death claim belongs to the surviving spouse, children, and parents, and compensates them for their own losses. A survival claim belongs to the deceased person’s estate and covers what they could have claimed had they survived, including medical and funeral expenses.
Who can bring a claim
Only a surviving spouse, child, or parent may bring a wrongful death claim under Texas law. A survival claim is brought by the personal representative of the estate. We can help identify who has standing to bring each claim during your free consultation.
