Wrongful Death Claims in Texas
Losing a loved one is one of the most painful experiences we can go through in life, and when that loss is due to the negligence or recklessness of another person or entity, it can be even more devastating. If you have lost a family member or loved one due to someone else’s actions, you may have the right to file a wrongful death claim in Texas.

What is Wrongful Death in Texas?

Wrongful death is defined as the death of a person caused by the wrongful act, neglect, carelessness, unskillfulness, or default of another person or corporation. In Texas, the surviving family members may file a wrongful death claim against the party responsible for the death to seek compensation for the losses they have suffered.

Who can File a Wrongful Death Claim in Texas?

In Texas, the surviving spouse, children, and parents of the deceased person have the right to file a wrongful death claim. If there are no surviving spouses, children, or parents, then the executor or administrator of the deceased person’s estate can file the claim. It is important to note that the statute of limitations for filing a wrongful death claim in Texas is two years from the deceased person’s death date.
