Texas law limits who may bring a wrongful death lawsuit. Eligible individuals include:
Unfortunately, non-family members, including common-law spouses, cannot file a wrongful death claim.
Family members have 3 months after the death of their loved one to file a wrongful death lawsuit. They have the option to file a single suit together or make multiple individual suits.
After 3 months, the executor of the estate is able to file a wrongful death suit. However, families can request not to file a claim, preventing the executor from filing.
With a wrongful death claim, you can pursue compensation for monetary damages related to the death of your family members.
These losses can include monetary and non-monetary damages, including:
Occasionally, courts will award punitive damages to plaintiffs. These are designed to punish the responsible party for the accident and can end up being more than monetary damages.
