When a
person is killed due to another’s
negligence, recklessness or intentional
conduct, a "wrongful death" occurs. A
wrongful death lawsuit is a type of personal
injury case that allows surviving family
members to seek legal compensation for their
loved one’s untimely demise. The responsible
party can be another individual or an entity
such as a corporation. Wrongful death claims
can include deaths from vehicle accidents,
worksite accidents, medical malpractice and
defective or dangerous products.
An
action in Texas for wrongful death can be
filed by a victim’s immediate family members
such as spouses, children and
parents. Typically, other family members
such as siblings or cousins have no right to
file a claim. However, there are exceptions
to the general rule, so if you have
questions about your eligibility, please
contact us to discuss your situation.
