Wrongful death is defined as a loss of life due to the negligence of others.  Like most other civil cases, these lawsuits must be filed in court within a prescribed period of time.  Courts impose deadlines called statutes of limitations on lawsuits because as time passes, critical evidence may be destroyed or misplaced and witnesses may be unavailable or have forgotten what they saw.
Wrongful death cases that are not filed before their deadline has passed will be barred from ever getting into court, so it is crucial that parties who are considering filing such a legal claim consult with a qualified wrongful death attorney as soon as possible.
Wrongful deaths are often the result of the negligence, carelessness, or reckless act of another person or corporation. Some common causes of wrongful death are: car accidents, motorcycle accidents, truck accidents, bus accidents, drunk drivers, train accidents, pedestrian accidents, plane crashes, medical malpractice, construction accidents, industrial accidents, fires, and defective products (product liability).
In Texas wrongful death cases can usually be the result of these other cases:
  • Personal Injury
  • Medical Malpractice
  • Defective Products
  • Car Accident
  • Slip and Fall Injury
  • Workplace
  • Catastrophic Injury
  • Aviation Accident
  • Nursing Home Abuse
  • Brain Injury
