South Texas Wrongful Death FAQ

The surviving spouse, children, and parents of the deceased may file, and the estate may bring a separate survival claim.
Texas law generally gives your family two years from the date of death to file a wrongful death lawsuit.
A survival claim belongs to the deceased’s estate and covers damages the deceased could have claimed had they survived, such as pre-death pain and medical bills.
We investigate all available insurance and assets, including the at-fault party’s estate, to pursue full recovery.
Many wrongful death cases settle, but we prepare every case as if it will go to trial to maximize your family’s recovery.
Texas’s comparative negligence rule may still allow recovery, reduced by the percentage of fault attributed to the deceased.
