Legal Considerations About Wrongful Death Claims

Before you file a wrongful death claim, you should make sure that you are eligible to seek compensation. Each state has different laws about who can file a wrongful death lawsuit, and in Texas, this right is only extended to close relatives, including spouses, children, and parents.

If you are eligible to file a wrongful death claim for the death of your loved one, our lawyers will take the time to figure out how much your claim is worth. We may factor in the cost of your loved one's funeral, the lost income and benefits your loved one would have provided, and your personal grief. We can help you negotiate for a settlement with the liable party, and if necessary, we can escalate your case to litigation to fight for the compensation you deserve.

Finally, consider the statute of limitations. In Texas, all personal injury claims are bound by a time limit known as the statute of limitations. With a few exceptions, you have two years to file a wrongful death claim within the statute of limitations. Our lawyers can help you take efficient legal action, assisting with all of the necessary paperwork for your claim.
