Wrongful Death
Nothing brings them back. But accountability and security for your family is a kind of justice.
When negligence takes the life of a spouse, parent, or child, Texas law gives surviving family members the right to pursue wrongful death and survival claims. These cases recover for loss of companionship, financial support, mental anguish, and the inheritance the deceased would have built.
We handle wrongful death claims arising from car and truck crashes, workplace incidents, medical negligence, defective products, and violent criminal acts. We move with urgency — and with the respect your family deserves.
After an Accident
The first five moves.
- Step 01
Preserve the Evidence
Vehicles, scenes, devices, security footage — we send preservation letters within 24 hours.
- Step 02
Order Records
Police reports, autopsy, medical, and employment records. We handle every request.
- Step 03
Identify All Defendants
Drivers, employers, manufacturers, property owners, contractors — every responsible party.
- Step 04
Quantify the Loss
We work with economists and life-care planners to value lost earnings, benefits, and household services.
- Step 05
File Before the Clock Runs Out
Texas wrongful death claims generally have a two-year statute of limitations. Don't wait.
