How We Prove 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.
Texas Legal Framework
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.
Losing a loved one due to someone else's negligence is devastating. Texas law gives families the right to seek justice and compensation through a wrongful death lawsuit. Learn who can file, what damages are available, and how the process works.
At Medina & Medina, we work on a contingency fee basis. This means you pay nothing upfront and no fees unless we win your case. Our fee is a percentage of your recovery.
In Texas, you generally have two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, there are exceptions that may shorten or extend this deadline, so it’s important to consult with an attorney as soon as possible.
You may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and in some cases, punitive damages. The amount depends on the specific circumstances of your case.
While you’re not required to have a lawyer, having experienced legal representation typically results in higher settlements. Insurance companies have teams of lawyers working for them, and you deserve someone advocating for your interests too.
Compensation depends on the severity of your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, and impact on your life. Contact Medina & Medina for a free evaluation of your case.
