Types of Accidents That Lead to Wrongful Death Claims
Wrongful death occurs when a person or other party is negligent, resulting in the loss of life. To prove negligence, we must demonstrate that the defendant owed your loved one a duty of care, violated that duty of care, caused an accident to happen, and that accident directly led to the loss of life.
The following are some examples of cases that fit into this area that we handle:
- Auto accidents: This includes car, truck, and motorcycle accidents caused by intoxicated drivers, distraction, recklessness, or aggressiveness.
- Pedestrian accidents: Often result in being struck by a car, truck, or bus
- Negligent security: Accidents that happen when a location fails to provide necessary security and safety when they should have done so
- Workplace accidents: This often includes falls, equipment-related injuries, and vehicle accidents that occur as a result of working
- Product failures: Sometimes due to products that explode, catch on fire, cause illness and disease, or otherwise create harm
These are a few examples of the types of wrongful death claims we handle. However, even if you are not sure if you have a claim or if your loved one died as a result of negligence, we encourage you to reach out to our team.

Who Can Seek a Wrongful Death Claim in Texas?
Not just anyone can file a lawsuit against someone for wrongful death. Rather, a wrongful death claim is only available to close family members or the representative of the estate. Some of the parties that can take such action, in order, include:
- Surviving spouse: If your legally recognized spouse lost their life negligently, you have the first right to seek legal action
- Children: If there is no spouse, the biological children of the lost party have the right to seek compensation against the at-fault party.
- Parents of the deceased: If there is no spouse or children, then the parents (and after them siblings) can take legal action.
Notably, the estate of the person who died will also seek legal action to recover damages for the final medical costs and other claims owed. If you are unsure if you are eligible to take legal action, reach out to our attorney for clarification. There is no harm in finding out if we can help you.
You Have Limited Time to Take Legal Action
Under the Texas statute of limitations (Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code § 16.003) for wrongful death, the victim’s family has two years from the date of the death to take legal action in a court of law. If you do not take action quickly, you are barred from doing so.
