What Is Wrongful Death?

Under Texas law, a wrongful death occurs when someone dies because of the negligent, reckless, or intentional actions of another person, company, or entity. It’s not just about financial compensation—it’s about holding the responsible party accountable for a loss that should never have happened.

You may have a wrongful death claim if your loved one died as a result of:

Wrongful death cases aren’t limited to one type of accident. What matters is whether someone else’s careless or unsafe behavior contributed to your loved one’s passing.

Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim in Texas?

In Texas, the following surviving family members are typically allowed to bring a wrongful death claim:

  • The deceased’s spouse
  • The deceased’s children (including adult children)
  • Parents of the deceased

If none of these individuals file a claim within three months, the executor or personal representative of the estate may be able to bring a claim on behalf of the estate unless surviving family members request otherwise.

If you’re unsure whether you have the right to file, our wrongful death lawyers in San Antonio can help you understand what’s possible based on your relationship to the deceased and the details of the case.

What Compensation Is Available in a Wrongful Death Claim?

No amount of money can ever make up for the loss of a loved one. But compensation can ease the financial burden left behind and provide a sense of justice by holding the at-fault party responsible.

In a wrongful death claim, compensation may include:

  • Funeral and burial expenses
  • Loss of the deceased’s income and benefits
  • Medical expenses incurred before death
  • Loss of companionship, care, and support
  • Emotional pain and suffering
  • Loss of inheritance
  • In some cases, punitive damages (when gross negligence is involved)

Every case is different, and the value of a claim depends on many factors, including the circumstances of the death, the relationship between the survivor and the deceased, and the financial and emotional impact of the loss.
