Losing a loved one is the most devastating experience a family can face. When that loss is caused by someone else's negligence or recklessness, the pain is compounded by a sense of injustice. I help families in South Texas pursue wrongful death claims to hold responsible parties accountable and secure the financial stability they need to move forward.
Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim in Texas?
Under Texas law, the surviving spouse, children, and parents of the deceased may file a wrongful death lawsuit. These claims must be filed within two years of the date of death. If no eligible family member files within three months, other beneficiaries may also bring a claim.
Common Causes of Wrongful Death
Car and truck accidents, workplace accidents, medical malpractice, defective products, criminal violence, and premises liability incidents are among the most common causes of wrongful death claims. In every case, the key question is whether someone else's negligence or intentional act caused your loved one's death.
Compensation in Wrongful Death Cases
Families may recover compensation for loss of financial support, loss of companionship and guidance, mental anguish, funeral and burial expenses, and medical expenses incurred before death. The goal is to provide financial security while acknowledging the immeasurable loss your family has suffered.
A Compassionate Approach
I understand that no amount of money can replace a loved one. I approach every wrongful death case with the sensitivity and respect your family deserves, while aggressively pursuing accountability from those responsible.
