What Is Considered A Wrongful Death?

A wrongful death is any fatality that occurs due to the negligence or wrongdoing of another party. The victim's family can file a wrongful death claim in Texas if the fatality was caused by:

• Motor vehicle accidents
• Negligent security
• Medical malpractice
• Dangerous consumer products
• Workplace accidents
• Or other incidents that result in death

In many cases, these incidents are investigated by local law enforcement and may involve reports from agencies serving Brown County courts, such as matters heard in the 35th Judicial District Court or related proceedings in nearby Texas counties.

What Damages Could Be Recovered in a Wrongful Death Claim?

Filing a wrongful death lawsuit can help you and your family recover damages for all related losses, including:

• Medical bills
• Funeral expenses
• Lost wages
• Pain and suffering
• Loss of companionship

In Texas, the statute of limitations for wrongful death cases is generally two years from the date of the fatality.

Because every family is affected differently by a fatal accident, we take time to understand the full emotional, financial, and practical impact of your loss before presenting your claim to an insurance company or, if necessary, a jury.

Types Of Wrongful Death Cases We Handle

Our wrongful death attorneys handle all types of cases that involve wrongful death, including:

• Car accidents
• Bicycle accidents
• Motorcycle accidents
• Truck accidents
• Negligent security
• Slip and fall
• Workplace accidents

We also represent families in complex fatal accident claims arising from crashes on major roads that serve Brown County, such as U.S. Highway 377 or U.S. Highway 84, as well as incidents in rural areas where investigations and evidence collection can be more challenging.

Who Can File A Wrongful Death Claim In Texas?

Many families are unsure whether they are allowed to bring a wrongful death claim or who should take the lead in doing so. Under Texas law, the surviving spouse, children, and parents of the person who died are generally the ones who may file a wrongful death lawsuit, either individually or together. If these family members do not file within a certain period, the personal representative of the estate may be able to bring the claim for the benefit of those entitled to recover.

We walk you through how these rules apply to your situation, especially if there are multiple family members or complicated relationships involved. If your case is likely to be filed in a Brown County court, such as the 35th Judicial District Court in Brownwood, we also explain how local procedures and timelines may affect the pace and structure of your case. Our goal is to help you make thoughtful decisions about who will serve as the point of contact with our team and how to move forward with a fatal accident attorney Brown County families can depend on for clear guidance.
