What Is A Wrongful Death Lawsuit?
A wrongful death lawsuit is a civil action brought when an individual’s death is caused by the wrongful act, neglect, carelessness, unskillfulness, or default of another person or entity. Common causes for these deaths include a variety of circumstances, including but not limited to medical malpractice, car or truck accidents, workplace accidents, defective products, and criminal actions. Like personal injury claims, these cases often involve complex investigations to establish liability and the extent of damages.
Type Of Compensation You Can Pursue
There is no way to put a value on the life of a loved one, but with these claims, families may seek compensation for a range of damages, including loss of the deceased’s expected earnings, medical and funeral expenses, loss of companionship, and mental anguish. Punitive damages may also be pursued if the defendant’s actions were particularly reckless or egregious. Through these claims, families have a better chance at stability in the future.
Under Texas law, the surviving spouse, children, and parents of the deceased have the right to file a wrongful death claim. If they do not file within three months of the death, the executor or administrator of the deceased’s estate may file the claim unless specifically requested not to by the family.
