Frequently Asked Questions

Who can file a wrongful death claim in Texas?

Under Texas law, the surviving spouse, children (including adopted children), and parents (including adoptive parents) of the deceased may file a wrongful death claim.

How long do I have to file a wrongful death claim?

Texas law provides a two-year statute of limitations from the date of death. However, early action allows us to preserve critical evidence and build the strongest possible case.

What damages are available in a wrongful death case?

Recoverable damages include funeral and burial expenses, lost earning capacity, loss of inheritance, mental anguish, loss of companionship, comfort, and support.

Can I file a wrongful death claim if criminal charges are pending?

Yes. Criminal proceedings and civil wrongful death claims are separate legal actions. You can pursue a wrongful death claim regardless of whether criminal charges are filed, and the burden of proof is lower in civil cases.
