Time is of the Essence: Filing a Wrongful Death Lawsuit

 

In Texas, the statute of limitations for wrongful death lawsuits is two years. You have up to two years from your loved one's death to demand compensation. Don't navigate this difficult process alone. There is still hope, and we are here to help.

​

Damages Available in Wrongful Death Cases

 

While wrongful death cases in Texas differ from other personal injury matters, successful claims can secure damages such as funeral and burial costs, medical bills prior to the victim's death, loss of inheritance, loss of financial support, lost value of services or goods, mental anguish and distress, loss of consortium, and loss of companionship, support, love, and guidance. Punitive damages might be available in extreme cases.

​

Protecting Against Blame: Comparative Negligence Rules

 

Responsible parties might try to blame the victim. Texas has modified comparative negligence rules, allowing victims to recover damages as long as they aren't primarily responsible for the accident. Nicholas' team of qualified lawyers works to downplay your loved one's role in the accident, potentially increasing the compensation you may receive.
