Wrongful Death Lawyers in Texas - The Davis Law Firm

Lost a loved one due to someone else’s negligence?

No amount of compensation can replace a life. When a family loses a loved one because of another person’s careless or reckless actions, the impact is devastating—emotionally, financially, and permanently.

Under the laws of Texas, families have the right to pursue a wrongful death claim when a death is caused by negligence, carelessness, or intentional misconduct. These claims are designed to hold the responsible party accountable and provide financial support for those left behind.

At The Davis Law Firm, led by Chad Davis, we represent families across Texas who are facing the unimaginable loss of a loved one. Our role is to guide you through the legal process with clarity, compassion, and strength—while pursuing the compensation your family deserves.

What Is a Wrongful Death Claim in Texas?

A wrongful death claim arises when a person dies as a result of another party’s negligence or wrongful conduct. These cases are governed by Texas wrongful death law and allow certain family members to seek compensation for their loss. Common situations that may give rise to a wrongful death claim include:
  • Car and truck accidents
  • Drunk driving crashes
  • Workplace accidents
  • Medical negligence
  • Defective products
  • Premises liability incidents
While no legal action can undo what has happened, a wrongful death claim can provide accountability and financial stability during a difficult time.

Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim?

Under Texas law, the following individuals may be eligible to file a wrongful death claim:
  • Spouse of the deceased
  • Children (including adult children)
  • Parents of the deceased
These claims are separate from any criminal proceedings and focus on civil liability and financial recovery.

Why Choose The Davis Law Firm?

Experience With Texas Wrongful Death Law

Wrongful death cases require a deep understanding of Texas law, including liability standards, damage calculations, and procedural rules. Our firm has experience handling complex cases involving fatal injuries and works to build strong claims supported by evidence.

Comprehensive Investigation

We conduct detailed investigations to determine how the incident occurred and who is responsible. This may involve reviewing accident reports, medical records, expert analysis, and witness testimony.

Proving Negligence and Liability

Our team focuses on establishing the key elements of negligence—duty, breach, causation, and damages—while clearly demonstrating how the responsible party’s actions led to the loss of your loved one.

Navigating Comparative Fault

Texas follows a modified comparative fault system. Insurance companies may attempt to shift blame to reduce payouts. We work to protect your claim and ensure responsibility is assigned fairly.

Compassionate, Client-Focused Support

We understand that this is not just a legal case—it is a deeply personal loss. Our team provides clear communication, guidance, and support throughout the process while handling the legal burden on your behalf.

FAQ

A wrongful death case in Texas arises when a person dies because of another party’s negligence, recklessness, carelessness, or intentional misconduct. Common examples include fatal car accidents, truck crashes, workplace incidents, medical negligence, defective products, and drunk driving accidents. Under Texas law, surviving family members may have the right to seek compensation for financial and emotional losses caused by the death.

In Texas, wrongful death claims are typically filed by the surviving spouse, children, or parents of the deceased person. Siblings generally cannot file a wrongful death claim under Texas law. If eligible family members do not file a claim within a certain period, the estate representative may be able to pursue legal action on behalf of the estate.

Texas generally has a two-year statute of limitations for wrongful death lawsuits. This means the claim usually must be filed within two years from the date of death. However, exceptions can apply depending on the circumstances of the case, so it is important to speak with a wrongful death lawyer as soon as possible to protect your rights.

The value of a wrongful death claim depends on several factors, including loss of income, medical expenses, funeral costs, loss of companionship, emotional suffering, and the circumstances surrounding the death. Every case is different. A Dallas wrongful death attorney can review the details of the case and help estimate the potential compensation available under Texas law.

Families may be able to recover compensation for funeral and burial expenses, lost future earnings, loss of financial support, emotional pain and suffering, loss of companionship, and loss of inheritance. In some cases involving gross negligence or intentional misconduct, punitive damages may also be available.

Wrongful death claims are often heavily contested by insurance companies and corporate defendants. Insurance adjusters may attempt to reduce payouts or shift blame to the deceased person. Working with an experienced wrongful death lawyer can help protect your family’s rights, preserve evidence, negotiate with insurers, and pursue the maximum compensation available under Texas law.
