In Texas, wrongful death is defined as a death that is caused by the “wrongful act, neglect, carelessness, unskillfulness, or default” of another. Simply put, if your loved one's death could have been prevented if someone had acted with proper care and responsibility, you may have grounds for a wrongful death claim.



Wrongful death claims are not the same as other personal injury cases in Texas. Texas law specifically defines who has the legal right to pursue a wrongful death claim. Eligible family members include:

• Surviving spouse
• Children (including adopted and adult children)
• Parents (including adoptive parents)

You will be dealing with many difficult issues while grieving the loss of a family member. Dealing with insurance companies shouldn’t be one. Sadly, insurance companies do not care what you’re going through, they’re concerned about saving the company money.

• Loss of financial support
• Loss of care
• Loss of your loved one’s company and support (loss of consortium)
• Loss of parental guidance and support
