Wrongful Death FAQs

Get answers to the questions our lawyers hear most from grieving families across Texas based on decades of experience.
How long do I have to file a wrongful death claim in Texas?

Texas law gives you two years from the date of your loved one’s death to file a wrongful death lawsuit. Missing this deadline means losing your right to pursue compensation through the courts, so early legal action is critical to preserve evidence and protect your family’s interests.

What if my loved one was partially at fault for the accident?

Under Texas’s modified comparative fault rule, if your loved one is found to be less than 50% at fault for their wrongful death incident, their loved ones can collect compensation, reduced proportionally by their percentage of responsibility.

Can I file a wrongful death claim if my loved one was killed at work?

Workers’ compensation typically provides exclusive remedy for workplace deaths. However, wrongful death claims may still be possible against third parties whose negligence contributed to the death, such as equipment manufacturers or subcontractors.

How is compensation divided among multiple family members?

Texas law doesn’t specify how damages are divided among survivors. The court considers each family member’s relationship with the deceased, financial dependency, and emotional impact when determining distribution.
