What is a Wrongful Death Claim?

A wrongful death claim arises when an individual’s life is taken due to the negligence, recklessness, or intentional actions of another party. These claims aim to provide surviving family members with financial compensation for their loss and to hold the negligent party accountable. Common causes of wrongful death include:

Car and motorcycle accidents
Truck and 18-wheeler accidents
Medical malpractice
Workplace accidents
Defective products
Drunk driving accidents
Premises liability incidents

Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim in Texas?

Under Texas law, the following individuals may be eligible to file a wrongful death claim:

Spouse of the deceased

Children (biological or adopted)

Parents of the deceased

If none of these parties file a claim within three months of the death, the executor or administrator of the deceased’s estate may pursue the claim unless specifically requested not to by the eligible family members.

Types of Compensation in a Wrongful Death Case

Families of wrongful death victims may be entitled to compensation for:

Funeral and burial expenses

Loss of financial support and future income

Medical expenses incurred prior to death

Loss of companionship, love, and guidance

Emotional pain and suffering

Punitive damages (in cases of gross negligence or intentional harm)

Our attorneys work diligently to calculate the full extent of your damages and ensure you receive fair compensation.

Top-notch service from Mr. Joshua Daws! He was able to address and resolve my concerns that another firm was unable to do so (Salazar Law Firm). I was referred to Mr. Daws’s firm and I am grateful I crossed paths with him. Highly recommend working with Mr. Daws, you will not regret it! He was able to notify me of the offer that the at-fault party had sent, in which I was previously told there had been nothing. Mr. Daws is the real deal and will take any case big or small seriously. A very personable person and is always present to help and serve you! 👍
