A wrongful death occurs when a person’s life is taken because of another party’s negligence, recklessness, or misconduct. Wrongful deaths can occur under many different circumstances, and different parties can be held responsible.
That’s why wrongful death cases are often the most complicated, both emotionally and legally.
But you don’t have to handle it alone. Biggs & Greenslade bring years of experience to the table to fight for the justice your family deserves.
Our Longview personal injury attorneys can guide you through the process of filing a wrongful death claim. Schedule a free consultation with us today.

Filing a wrongful death claim is often complex and confusing. Biggs & Greenslade clearly walk you through the process from start to finish and help you understand your options.
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.
Our Longview wrongful death lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing up front.
We only get paid if we win compensation for your family. Our fee comes directly from the settlement or judgment, not your pocket. If we don’t win, you owe us nothing.
