When a family loses someone due to another person’s negligence, the financial and emotional toll is real and lasting. Texas wrongful death law recognizes that, and it allows eligible family members to seek compensation for more than just funeral costs.
Damages in a Texas wrongful death case can include:
Loss of the financial support the deceased provided to the family. Loss of the services they contributed, such as childcare, household work, and caregiving. Loss of companionship, guidance, and affection. Mental anguish suffered by surviving family members. Medical expenses incurred between the injury and the death.
The amount recoverable depends on the specific facts of the case, including the relationship between the claimant and the deceased, the deceased’s income and life expectancy, and the circumstances of the death.
Every case is different. The best way to understand what your family may be entitled to is to speak with an experienced wrongful death attorney.
