Seeking Justice After a Wrongful Death? Let Us Help
Compassionate Legal Assistance for Families Who Have Lost a Loved One
Losing a loved one due to someone else’s negligence is a devastating experience that leaves families facing emotional and financial burdens. At RQ Law Group, our wrongful death attorneys provide compassionate legal assistance to families seeking justice. We understand that no amount of compensation can replace a lost loved one, but holding negligent parties accountable can provide financial stability and a sense of closure.
Understanding Wrongful Death Claims in Texas
A wrongful death claim is a legal action filed when a person’s death is caused by the negligence, recklessness, or intentional misconduct of another party. In Texas, these claims often arise from:
- Motor vehicle accidents, including truck and motorcycle crashes
- Workplace incidents and construction accidents
- Medical malpractice and defective products
Our wrongful death lawsuit lawyers thoroughly investigate each case to determine liability and the best course of legal action.
Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim?
Under Texas law (Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 71.004), the following individuals are eligible to file a wrongful death claim:
- Spouse of the deceased
- Children, including legally adopted children
- Parents of the deceased
If no eligible family members file a claim within three months, the estate executor may initiate a lawsuit on behalf of the beneficiaries. Our attorney for wrongful death claims will guide you through the legal process and ensure you meet all necessary filing deadlines.
Securing Compensation in a Wrongful Death Lawsuit
Families may be eligible for compensation covering:
- Medical costs incurred before death
- Funeral and burial expenses
- Loss of financial support
- Pain and suffering, mental anguish, and loss of companionship
