Wrongful Death

Compassionate representation for grieving families

No result can undo the loss of someone you love. What a wrongful-death claim can do is provide accountability and financial stability — covering lost income and support, medical and funeral expenses, and the profound loss families endure. We carry the legal burden so your family can grieve.

Who can file in Texas

Texas law generally allows a surviving spouse, children, and parents to bring a wrongful-death claim. A separate “survival” claim may recover damages the loved one experienced before passing. We help families understand their rights with clarity and compassion.

How we handle these cases

We move at your family’s pace, keep communication simple and human, and take on the investigation, experts, and insurers entirely. Our goal is a resolution that honors your loved one and protects those left behind.

What we handle

  • Fatal brain & spinal injuries
  • Fatal car & truck collisions
  • Motorcycle & pedestrian fatalities
  • Fall & premises-related deaths
  • Survival & family-loss claims
  • Insurance & liability disputes

Frequently asked: Wrongful Death

How long do we have to file a wrongful-death claim in Texas?
Generally two years from the date of death, with limited exceptions. Because evidence must be preserved, it’s wise to speak with an attorney early even while your family is still grieving.
What can a wrongful-death claim recover?
Compensation may include lost earning capacity and support, lost care and companionship, mental anguish, and funeral and medical expenses. A survival claim can also address the suffering your loved one endured.
Will we have to go to court?
Many cases resolve through settlement, but we prepare every case for trial. That readiness is often what drives a fair result — and we’ll never pressure your family into a decision that isn’t right for you.
