Wrongful Death and Your Rights in Tecas
In the state of Texas, surviving family members, including the deceased person’s spouse, children, and/or parents, are entitled to file a wrongful death claim. Unfortunately, siblings do not have grounds to seek damages. Whether individually or as a group, or through a personal representative of the estate, any of these parties may file a claim.
Types Of Damages You May Be Eligible To Recover
The aftermath of a fatal accident can impose an overwhelming economic burden. Funeral expenses, substantial medical bills, and the loss of the primary source of income create a challenging environment for surviving family members. Filing a wrongful death lawsuit may allow your family to recover compensation for economic losses and non-economic damages such as love, companionship, affection, support, and protection. In cases of gross negligence, punitive damages may also be pursued.
Compensation may cover:
- Funeral and burial expenses for the deceased.
- Loss of love, companionship, comfort, and society.
- Loss of care, maintenance, services, advice, and counsel.
- Loss of earning capacity, financial support, and inheritance.
- Emotional and mental anguish, suffering, and torment.
- Punitive damages in cases of gross negligence.
Our Firm Can Help You Demand Justice For Your Loss
Beyond pursuing financial compensation, a wrongful death lawsuit can hold the liable party accountable for their negligent actions, providing an avenue for justice. By taking legal action, you not only seek redress for your family’s suffering but also contribute to preventing similar accidents.
