Overview of Texas Wrongful Death Law

The Texas wrongful death law sets forth which family members can file a lawsuit for injuries, damages, and losses arising from the death of a family member in a lethal accident caused by another party.

These are:

• spouse
• children
• parents

The family members eligible to file a claim can do so individual or as a group. Adult children can make a claim. If the spouse, children, or parents do not file a wrongful death lawsuit within three months of a family member's death, the personal representative or the executor for the estate of the deceased individual may file a wrongful death claim.

Getting the Compensation You Deserve with a Lubbock Wrongful Death Lawyer

The Lubbock wrongful death lawyer team at The Doan Law Firm will strive tirelessly to ensure that you and your family obtain the compensation you deserve in your case. Nothing can ever fill the void caused by the wrongful death of your family member. Nonetheless, we fight hard to make certain your losses are at least financially compensated to the fullest extent possible.

Every Texas wrongful death case differs. Nonetheless, these are certain types of injuries, damages, and losses that we routinely obtain financially recovery for a client in a Lubbock wrongful death case.

These include:

• lost companionship
• lost consortium
• emotional distress and mental anguish
• lost income
• lost support
• final medical expenses
• funeral and burial expenses

According to Texas wrongful death law, the nature and extent of compensation awarded in your case depends on two primary elements. First, the underlying facts surrounding the accident that resulted in the death of your loved one. Second, the legal familial relationship between you and your deceased family member.

In some cases, Lubbock wrongful death attorney from our firm will seek what are known as punitive or exemplary damages on your behalf in your case. Punitive or exemplary damages represent additional compensation in a Texas wrongful death lawsuit. These damages are awarded in lawsuits in which a determination is made that the conduct of the party responsible for your loved one's death is particularly reckless or egregious.

An order requiring the payment of punitive damages in your case serves two principle purposes. First, they are designed to provide you with additional compensation. Second, punitive or exemplary damages are intended to serve as punishment of the party that caused the lethal accident because of particularly reckless or egregious conduct.
