Wrongful death is the legal definition of an individual’s life being tragically cut short because of somebody else’s negligence or wrongdoing. This may arise from road accidents, medical errors, on-the-job occurrences, or any other preventable disaster.
Texas has laws that enable a family to regain justice as well as compensation for their deceased family member. Filing a wrongful death claim can be done by a spouse, children, or parents of the deceased person. Compensation may include medical costs, funeral expenses, lost financial support, pain, and suffering inflicted by the death of a loved one.
Survival claims are some kind of legal way of seeking damages that the deceased suffered in pain, had to incur some expenses, and subsequently succumbed to death. These claims afford the estate of the deceased the right to bring legal action on his or her behalf for such things as medical expenses and lost wages.
In Texas, there is a two-year statute of limitation within which wrongful death and survival claims should be filed, commencing from the day of the individual’s death. It is important that action be taken promptly to seek legal advice that will guide in ensuring the deadlines and requirements of any notice are met.
