What “Wrongful Death” Means in Texas
In Texas, a wrongful death happens when someone dies because of another person’s wrongful act, neglect, or default. That could be a driver who ran a red light, a property owner who ignored a dangerous condition, a doctor’s mistake, or other situations where a life was cut short because of avoidable harm.
You can’t change what happened. But you can take legal action to seek justice, protect your family’s future, and make sure those responsible are held accountable.

Frequently Asked
Questions
Who can file a wrongful death claim in Texas?
In Texas, eligible people include the surviving spouse, children, and parents. If none of them files suit within 90 days, the executor of the deceased’s estate may step in.
How long do I have to file a wrongful death case?
Texas law generally gives you two years from the date of death to file a claim. Missing this deadline can bar your case.
How much will it cost to hire your law firm?
You don’t pay anything upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you only pay if we win your case.
What if the responsible party denies fault?
That’s normal. We gather evidence and expert testimony to prove fault and show how their actions led to the death.
Can I talk to someone in Spanish?
Yes. We can accommodate Spanish‑speaking family members and make sure everyone understands each step.
Will my case go to trial?
Many cases settle before trial. But if a fair offer isn’t on the table, we’re prepared to take your case to court.
What if we don’t have all the documents yet?
We help gather everything you need—medical records, police reports, witness statements. You don’t have to do it alone.
