Who Can File A Wrongful Death Claim?
Texas law specifies that only certain people may file wrongful death claims. According to the law, wrongful death claims may be brought by the deceased’s spouse, children, or parents (Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 71.004). If no action is brought by these individuals within three months of the death, the executor of the deceased’s estate may bring a wrongful death action on behalf of the estate. However, the family members mentioned above can ask the executor or administrator not to bring a wrongful death suit. If you have lost a loved one, let Bush & Bush Law Group help you understand all your legal rights related to a wrongful death suit.
Types Of Damages In Wrongful Death Actions
There are several types of damages that can be awarded in wrongful death lawsuits. Some of the damages are similar to a personal injury case. The damages that would be owed to the victim if they were not deceased can be collected in a wrongful death suit. These damages may include the following:
- Medical bills
- Lost wages
- Pain and suffering
Additionally, damages that have accumulated after the victim’s death can also be recovered. These may include expenses such as funeral and burial expenses, future lost wages, mental and emotional anguish, and loss of companionship. In cases where gross negligence is present, punitive damages may be awarded. These types of damages are intended to punish the defendant for their behavior and discourage that type of behavior in the future. Bush & Bush Law Group Dallas wrongful death lawyers can help investigate your loved one’s death and determine the types of damages you may be entitled to recover in a wrongful death case.
