A “wrongful death” claim is one where a person’s death was caused by the negligence of another person or company. The laws of the State of Texas allow wrongful death claims to be brought by the decedent’s spouse, children and/or parents.

The estate of the accident victim (as determined by the will or by state intestacy law) also can bring an action to recover for the pain and suffering experienced by the accident victim prior to his or her death.

“Wrongful death” claims can cover a wide variety of accidents. Some of the most common types of wrongful death claims are the result of motor vehicle accidents, on-the-job injuries or defective products.
