Establishing Liability
Wrongful death claims require proving that the defendant negligence or wrongful act caused the decedent death. The surviving family members must demonstrate the specific losses they suffered as a result of the death, including financial support, companionship, and emotional suffering. When the death results from gross negligence or intentional misconduct, additional exemplary damages may be recoverable to punish the defendant and deter similar behavior.
Relevant Texas Law
Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Sections 71.001 through 71.012 govern wrongful death actions, limiting who may bring the claim to the surviving spouse, children, and parents of the deceased. The statute of limitations for wrongful death in Texas is two years from the date of death. A separate survival action under Section 71.021 allows the estate to recover damages the decedent would have been entitled to had they survived, including pain and suffering experienced before death.
