Are you enduring the wrongful death of a loved one?

If so, you may want to learn more about the various ways the law attempts to help you obtain justice for your loss.

“Wrongful Death” is a civil cause of action against a person or entity for wrongfully causing the death of another.  Since the person harmed is no longer alive, Texas law allows the surviving spouse, children, and parents to file a wrongful death lawsuit seeking to recover monetary damages. These family members may bring this claim singly, or together in one action as a group.

There are many underlying circumstances leading the way for wrongful death litigation. Common causes of wrongful death lawsuits are:

Also, in Texas some wrongful death claims may allow for exemplary “punitive” damages. These damages are awarded to punish a wrongdoer for willful, or grossly negligent behavior.
