A wrongful death occurs when a person dies because another individual or company acted carelessly, recklessly, or intentionally.
Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code § 71.002 allows surviving relatives to sue when the deceased could have filed a personal injury claim had they lived.
Common scenarios include traffic collisions, medical malpractice, workplace incidents, defective products, dangerous property conditions, and intentional violence. A civil claim proceeds independently of any criminal case; its sole goal is to compensate the family for their losses.
Texas limits the right to sue to the surviving spouse, children, and parents of the deceased.
If none of those relatives file within three months, the estate’s personal representative must act to protect the claim.
Families generally have two years from the date of death to file (Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 16.003). Missing the deadline usually ends the right to recover.
Fatal traffic crashes are the most frequent source of claims we see.
According to TXDOT records, Irving saw 23 fatal crashes in 2023, evidence of the dangers on local roadways.
High-speed interchanges such as I-635 at SH-161 and the Dallas North Tollway, as well as dense surface streets like O’Connor and Story Roads, appear repeatedly in crash reports.
We investigate each scene quickly, securing traffic-camera footage, black-box data, and witness statements before they disappear.
Compensation aims to replace what the family has lost.
Our firm takes a comprehensive, hands-on approach to every case.
Under Texas law, wrongful death lawsuits generally must be filed within two years of your loved one’s death. Missing this deadline could forfeit your rights, so it’s essential to speak with an attorney promptly.
Texas law permits the deceased person’s surviving spouse, children, or parents to file a wrongful death claim. If these relatives do not initiate a lawsuit within three months, the estate’s representative may file on behalf of the family.
In a wrongful death lawsuit, your family may be entitled to compensation including:
Wrongful death claims involve complex legal procedures and require substantial evidence.
