What Is a Wrongful Death Claim in Texas?
Under Texas law, a wrongful death claim may arise when a person’s death is caused by another party’s negligence, recklessness, or wrongful conduct. These claims are separate from any criminal proceedings and focus on civil accountability and compensation for surviving family members.
Eligible claimants may include a surviving spouse, children, or parents of the deceased, depending on the circumstances.
