Compensation Available After a Wrongful Death
Texas law lets surviving family members recover medical expenses, funeral and burial costs, lost income, loss of society and companionship, and loss of future inheritance. When the conduct that caused the death was willful, a jury may also award punitive damages. Money never replaces a person, but it steadies a family.
Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim in Texas
Under Chapter 71 of the Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code, a surviving spouse, children including adopted children, and parents may file. Siblings cannot file in Texas. If your family member survived for a time after the accident, the estate representative may also bring a survival claim for medical bills and pain before death.

Cost should not keep a North Texas family from getting answers. The first half hour of your consultation with an attorney in Southlake, TX, is free. Harris Cook handles car accident cases on a contingency fee. Texas allows two years from the date of death to file, and evidence fades long before then.
