Losing a loved one is devastating, especially when their death was caused by someone else’s negligence or wrongful actions. In such cases, Texas law allows surviving family members to pursue a wrongful death claim to seek justice and financial compensation. At A2X Law Firm in Arlington, we understand the emotional and financial toll of these tragedies, and we’re committed to helping families hold responsible parties accountable.

What Is a Wrongful Death Claim?

A wrongful death claim is a civil lawsuit filed when someone dies due to another party’s negligent, reckless, or intentional actions. These claims seek compensation for the losses suffered by the deceased’s family, including medical expenses, funeral costs, lost income, and emotional suffering.

Common causes of wrongful death in Arlington include:

• Car, Truck, and Motorcycle Accidents
• Medical Malpractice (surgical errors, misdiagnosis, medication mistakes)
• Workplace Accidents (construction accidents, industrial fatalities)
• Defective Products (malfunctioning vehicles, dangerous drugs)
• Premises Liability (unsafe property conditions leading to fatal slips, falls, or assaults)
• Pedestrian and Bicycle Accidents

Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim in Texas?

Under Texas law (Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code § 71.004), only certain family members can file a wrongful death lawsuit, including:

• Surviving spouses
• Children (biological or adopted)
• Parents (if the deceased had no spouse or children)

If no eligible family member files within three months of the death, the deceased’s estate may pursue the claim on behalf of beneficiaries.

What Compensation Can Families Recover?

A successful wrongful death claim can provide financial relief for:

1. Medical Expenses – Costs of emergency care, hospitalization, and treatment before death.
2. Funeral and Burial Costs – Expenses related to laying your loved one to rest.
3. Lost Income & Future Earnings – Compensation for the wages the deceased would have provided.
4. Loss of Companionship & Emotional Pain – Damages for grief, mental anguish, and loss of love, guidance, and support.
5. Punitive Damages – In cases of gross negligence or intentional harm, courts may award additional damages to punish the wrongdoer.
