Your Future. Our Fight.

Under Texas law, the surviving spouse, children, and parents of the deceased can file a wrongful death claim. In some cases, the personal representative of the estate may also file suit. The claim must typically be filed within two years of the date of death.

Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay nothing unless we win your case. Our free consultation is completely confidential with no obligation.

Texas wrongful death damages may include loss of financial support, loss of companionship and guidance, mental anguish and emotional suffering, funeral and burial expenses, and medical costs incurred before death. Each case is unique, and we’ll fight to maximize every element of your family’s claim.

In most cases, you have two years from the date of death to file a wrongful death lawsuit. However, it’s critical to act quickly because evidence can disappear, witnesses’ memories fade, and companies may destroy records. Contact us as soon as possible to protect your family’s rights.
