If you wish to file a wrongful death claim or lawsuit, you could secure compensation to pay for numerous losses. These losses fall into one of two categories, which include economic and non-economic damages. Our wrongful death attorneys identify and document these recoverable damages and seek fair compensation based on the case facts.
Economic damages compensate for measurable financial losses that occur due to the death of your loved one. The purpose of these damages is to make the heirs of the deceased party financially whole.
This could include covering the following costs:
There are also subjective losses that come with a wrongful death lawsuit, which are non-economic damages. The pursuit of non-economic damages has nothing to do with recouping financial losses. Instead, they provide for the immeasurable hardship, emotional distress, and harm that can come with an unexpected death.
Some examples of non-economic, wrongful death damages we can pursue in a lawsuit include:
You might be struggling to stay afloat if you lose the primary source of income for your family. Your financial pressures may make you think you cannot afford a lawyer. However, our team does not expect you to pay us anything upfront.

Filing a lawsuit for the wrongful death of someone you love is a time-sensitive issue. When you and other surviving family members are focused on mental and emotional recovery, the time you have to file your lawsuit is ticking away. If too much time passes, you can inadvertently relinquish your right to request compensation at all.
Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 16.003 governs personal injury and wrongful death claims all over the state. This law is the statute of limitations, and it generally allows you up to two years from the date of the accident to hold the at-fault party responsible for your loved one’s death.
If you are ready to assign fault and collect financial compensation, our team is ready to support you. We may be able to help ensure your claim is filed in time to comply with the state’s timeline and eliminate the risk of filing too late. We do that by allowing your family the time they need to grieve while we get started on your claim without delay. Avoid putting your right to financial compensation at risk by calling our team today.
