Houston Texas Attorney Explains "Wrongful Death" Cases

Thank you for your question.

In Texas, the law provides a "cause of action", or a legal claim, against people or companies whose negligence or carelessness cause the death of another person.

Under Texas law, only the direct relations (spouses, parents, and kids) of the person who has died have claims under wrongful death laws.

Do you think brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, and other family members should be able to file a legal case if one of their relatives are killed? Please let us know your thoughts by commenting below.

Wrongful death claims can be very complex, time consuming, and expensive. That's why you should probably consult with an attorney who specializes in personal injury and wrongful death cases.

A lawyer who doesn't specialize in personal injury or wrongful death cases may not have the experience or resources to properly handle the case.
