A wrongful death claim is a civil lawsuit filed when someone's death results from another person's or entity's negligent, careless, or intentional act. The claim seeks compensation for surviving family members' financial and emotional losses due to their loved one's untimely death. In Texas, these claims must demonstrate that the death would not have occurred without the defendant's wrongful actions.
In Texas, only the deceased person's surviving spouse, children (including adopted children), and parents have the legal right to file a wrongful death claim. If none of these individuals file within three months of the death, the executor or administrator of the deceased's estate may file the claim instead. Siblings, grandparents, and other relatives cannot file wrongful death claims under Texas law.
Texas law establishes a two-year statute of limitations for wrongful death claims, which typically begins on the date of death. Limited exceptions exist, such as when negligence isn't discovered until later or when the claimant is a minor child. Waiting too long to file can permanently forfeit your right to seek compensation, so consulting with an attorney promptly is essential.
Wrongful death compensation may include economic damages like lost income, lost inheritance, and funeral expenses. Families can also recover non-economic damages for their emotional suffering, loss of companionship, and the deceased's pain before death. Additionally, Texas allows exemplary (punitive) damages in cases involving gross negligence or willful acts.
