Wrongful death occurs when a person dies due to the negligence or misconduct of another individual or entity. Texas law allows certain family members or representatives of the deceased’s estate to pursue a wrongful death claim, seeking compensation for their loss.
In Texas, the spouse, children, and parents of the deceased are eligible to file a wrongful death claim. If these parties do not file a claim within three months of the death, the executor or administrator of the deceased’s estate may file the claim, unless specifically requested not to by the family.
Damages in a wrongful death claim may include loss of the deceased’s earning capacity, loss of companionship and support, mental and emotional anguish, loss of inheritance, and funeral and burial expenses. In some cases, punitive damages may also be awarded to punish the wrongdoer and deter similar conduct in the future.

The statute of limitations for filing a wrongful death claim in Texas is typically two years from the date of death. However, certain exceptions can extend or shorten this timeframe, making it crucial to consult with an attorney as soon as possible.
Yes, Texas follows a modified comparative negligence rule, which means you can still file a wrongful death claim even if the deceased was partly at fault. However, the compensation may be reduced proportionally to the deceased’s percentage of fault.
Many wrongful death claims are settled out of court through negotiations. However, if a fair settlement cannot be reached, The Barber Law Firm is prepared to represent you in court to ensure justice is served and you receive the compensation you deserve.
