Understanding Wrongful Death Claims in Texas — A Guide for Families

Losing a loved one because of someone else’s negligence is heartbreaking. A wrongful death claim cannot replace what was taken, but it can provide justice, financial support, and accountability.

What Is a Wrongful Death Claim?

Under Texas law, a wrongful death occurs when a person dies due to negligence, recklessness, or a wrongful act. Common causes include car accidents, medical malpractice, workplace accidents, and more.

Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim in Texas?

Eligible family members include:

  • Spouses
  • Children
  • Parents

If they do not file within the required time, an estate representative may file instead.

Damages Families May Recover

Every case is different, but compensation may include:

  • Lost income the loved one would have earned
  • Medical expenses before death
  • Funeral and burial costs
  • Loss of companionship & support
  • Pain and suffering
