At the Nava Law Group, our Harris County personal injury lawyers know how difficult it is for families to pursue wrongful death lawsuits in Houston, Texas without a skilled attorney by their sides.

We can help ensure your case is built for success. But before we get started, here is what our residents need to know about our wrongful death laws in Texas.

What are the Wrongful Death Laws in Texas?

The wrongful death laws in Texas require our attorneys to prove our client’s loved one lost their life because of someone’s wrongful or negligent conduct.

What Type of Compensation Can I Pursue During a Texas Wrongful Death Claim?

If you have lost a loved one to negligence in Texas and are eligible to file a wrongful death claim to pursue the financial compensation that was impacted by your loss, we can help you determine which details apply to your case.

Common financial recovery categories family members may pursue during a wrongful death claim in Texas include:

• Medical bills incurred before their loved one passed away
• Physical pain suffered by their loved one before their death
• Loss of compensation and earning capacity the loved one contributed to the home
• Funeral and burial expenses

What is the Wrongful Death Statute of Limitations in Texas?

The wrongful death statute of limitations in Texas — which outlines the amount of time family members have to file a claim — is two years from the date of their loved one’s death.

However, just because you have two years to file a claim does not mean you should wait.

Depending on where the death occurred, the liable party may have the opportunity to hide evidence or alter the scene to limit the ways our skilled wrongful death lawyers in Texas can prove they caused our client’s loved one’s demise.

The longer families wait to file a wrongful death claim, the more likely it will be that valuable evidence disappears, which can make their case challenging to prove inside or outside the courtroom.

We know that losing a loved one is emotionally overwhelming. Because of the trauma it causes, family members are unlikely to address the idea of filing a wrongful death claim right away.

We encourage anyone who has lost a loved one to negligence to call our skilled wrongful death attorneys right away. The sooner we can begin building your case, the better our chances of success.

Do not delay. Call us now to get started.
