A wrongful death claim is a civil lawsuit filed when a person dies due to the negligence or wrongful actions of another party. These cases are tried in civil court, and the standard of evidence is a preponderance of evidence rather than reasonable doubt.
In Texas, a wrongful death lawsuit can be filed by the surviving spouse, children, or parents of the deceased. The lawsuit must generally be filed within two years of the date of death under the Texas statute of limitations.
Compensation in a wrongful death case may include medical costs incurred prior to death, funeral and burial expenses, loss of financial support (pecuniary loss), loss of companionship and guidance, and pain and suffering endured by surviving family members.
Wrongful death claims can arise from a wide range of incidents, including workplace injuries, catastrophic accidents, trucking accidents, dangerous products, fires, pollution, nursing home negligence, medical malpractice, and other situations involving negligent or wrongful conduct.
Yes. A person can be prosecuted criminally as well as in a civil wrongful death trial. The civil case is separate from any criminal proceedings, and a wrongful death suit is the only way to hold a company, as opposed to an individual, accountable for damages.

It is an injury causing permanent disability or disfigurement, including severe burns, organ damage, loss of limbs, or severe brain injuries.
Major causes include motor vehicle accidents, construction site falls, commercial truck accidents, and sports injuries.
Compensation typically covers past and future medical bills, rehabilitation, long-term nursing care, lost earning capacity, pain and suffering, and home modifications.
Catastrophic claims involve much higher financial stakes, requiring complex, long-term life care plans, expert testimony (economists, doctors), and insurance companies fighting harder to avoid large payouts.
Statutes of limitations vary by state (often 2–4 years), but some instances, such as claims against government entities, can have deadlines as short as six months.
