Our mission is to provide compassionate legal support while pursuing justice and financial security for your family. We handle each wrongful death case with dignity, respect, and unwavering commitment to protecting your rights.
Under Texas law, a wrongful death occurs when an individual’s death results from another party’s negligence, carelessness, or intentional act. These cases can arise from various incidents, including:
A wrongful death claim allows surviving family members to seek compensation for the financial and emotional losses caused by their loved one’s death — and to hold negligent parties legally accountable.
Texas law limits who may file a wrongful death claim to:
If none of these individuals bring a claim within three months, the executor or administrator of the estate may file on behalf of the beneficiaries, unless specifically instructed not to.
Our firm assists families through every stage of this sensitive process, ensuring all legal filings, deadlines, and estate issues are handled carefully and correctly.

In certain cases, punitive damages may also be available to punish gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Our goal is to lift the legal burden from your shoulders so you can focus on what matters most — healing and honoring your loved one’s memory.
Texas wrongful death claims generally must be filed within two years of the date of death.
You can often file both a wrongful death claim and a survival action, which seeks damages your loved one could have recovered if they had survived.
Documentation such as accident reports, medical records, and witness statements are essential for proving negligence.
Insurance companies often attempt to settle quickly — don’t accept any offer without legal review.
You may be entitled to damages even if your loved one shared partial fault.
Employers and corporations can be held liable for employee negligence in certain cases.
Settlement funds can often be structured to support dependents long-term.
Not all wrongful death claims require a lawsuit — many resolve through negotiation.
Families have the right to transparency, honesty, and compassion throughout the process.
Seeking justice can bring closure and prevent future harm to others.
Any death caused by another’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional act may qualify — including car crashes, unsafe workplaces, or medical negligence.
A criminal case seeks punishment (like jail or fines), while a wrongful death claim seeks financial compensation for the family’s losses. Both can proceed separately.
The surviving spouse, children, or parents of the deceased may file. If none do so, the executor of the estate may file on their behalf.
Generally two years from the date of death, though exceptions exist in cases involving minors or concealed negligence.
Damages may include lost income, funeral expenses, emotional suffering, and loss of companionship, among others.
No. Eligible family members must join together in a single wrongful death action.
A survival claim is brought by the deceased’s estate to recover damages for pain, suffering, and expenses the victim experienced before death.
A wrongful death claim is civil, not criminal, and can proceed regardless of criminal prosecution outcomes.
Many cases settle privately, but we prepare every case for trial to ensure full accountability.
We handle wrongful death cases on a contingency fee basis — you pay no legal fees unless we win compensation for your family.
