McAllen Wrongful Death Attorney

Fighting for Grieving Families in the Rio Grande Valley

Thousands upon thousands of people die in tragic accidents every year, including car accidents and truck accidents. The worst part is that virtually all of them are preventable. When people kill other people, they're held accountable in criminal court. But what happens if a company is at fault? What happens when a corporation or organization leads to a loved one's death? The only way you can hold them accountable is by filing a wrongful death claim against the people at fault for the accident.

Who Can File a Wrongful Death Case in Texas?

Texas has restrictions on who is eligible to file a wrongful death claim. If you have any questions about whether you qualify to file a wrongful death claim on behalf of a loved one, feel free to contact our team for guidance.

Under Texas law, the following parties can file a wrongful death claim:

  • Spouse of the deceased
  • Children of the deceased, including legally adopted children
  • Parents of the deceased, including adoptive parents

If none of the above parties file a wrongful death claim within 3 months of death, an executor of the estate may be allowed to file a claim.

Families may file jointly as a group, or an individual family member can file on their behalf. In Texas, siblings and grandparents of the deceased are not eligible to file a claim.

Compensation for Texas Wrongful Death Claims

Wrongful death claims allow family members to sue for compensation to recover:

  • Funeral expenses
  • Medical expenses prior to death
  • Loss of income
  • Loss of benefits
  • Loss of consortium, companionship, or parental guidance
  • Pain and suffering
  • Punitive damages
