Who Can File a Wrongful Death Lawsuit in Texas?

The surviving spouse, children, and parents of the deceased person are eligible to file the wrongful death lawsuit. They can file the suit together, or individually. In the event that neither the spouse, children, or parents file a suit within three years of the incident, the personal representative or executor of the person’s estate may file on their behalf.

Filing a Wrongful Death Claim in Texas

We understand that money is likely not the first thing on your mind after losing your loved one and we also know that no amount of money can undo the pain you are experiencing.

Typically, the close family members of the deceased are eligible to file a claim on their behalf. We work to gather sufficient evidence to support your claim and make the process as easy as possible for you and your family.
