In the state of Texas, surviving family members are entitled to file a wrongful death claim after the untimely passing of a loved one. This includes the deceased person’s spouse, children, and/or parents. Unfortunately, siblings do not have grounds to seek damages. Any of these parties may file a claim individually or as a group, or a personal representative of the estate can file on their behalf.
A fatal accident can leave surviving family members struggling under an unbearable economic burden. Funeral expenses can easily cost thousands of dollars, while the family may also be facing enormous medical bills. Furthermore, the family may have been deprived of its principle source of income, in addition to the potential for lost future inheritances and services rendered to the household.
When you file a wrongful death lawsuit, your family may be able to recover compensation for all of the economic losses you have suffered. You may also be able to recover non-economic damages for your loss of love, companionship, affection, support, and protection. In cases of gross negligence or misconduct, it may even be possible to claim exemplary damages, or “punitive damages.”
By filing a wrongful death lawsuit, you can seek compensation for:
If you have suffered the loss of a family member and would like to seek damages through a wrongful death lawsuit, it is important to understand that you will only have two years to file a claim. In Texas, all wrongful death actions are subject to a two-year statute of limitations. If you fail to take action before the statute of limitations expires, it is likely that the court will refuse to hear your case.
Another thing to consider when contemplating legal action over the death of a family member is that the wrongful death lawsuit is about more than just money. In addition to claiming compensation, we can also help you hold the liable party responsible for their negligent actions or omissions.
By doing so, you can not only demand justice for the wrongdoings your family has suffered, but also protect others from similar accidents. Learn more about the benefits of suing for wrongful death and get started on your own case by contacting the Daspit Law Firm for a free case consultation.
