When a loved one’s death is caused by the mistake or negligence of someone else, it is likely considered a wrongful death.

But you don’t have to handle this alone. Biggs and Greenslade are here to use their years of experience to bring your family the justice they deserve.

In the State of Texas, only certain individuals can file a wrongful death lawsuit. These individuals include:
All non-family members, including common-law spouses, are barred from wrongful death lawsuits.
Family members wishing to file a wrongful death suit have 3 months after the death of their loved one to file. They can choose to file a single suit altogether or multiple suits as individuals.
After 3 months, the executor of the estate may elect to file a wrongful death suit, but families may request that no claim be brought. This will prevent the executor from filing.
A wrongful death claim is similar to a personal injury claim since it’s designed to help individuals recover monetary damages related to the death of their family member.
These losses can include monetary and non-monetary damages, including:
Occasionally, courts will award punitive damages to plaintiffs. These are designed to punish the responsible party for the accident and can end up being more than monetary damages.
There is no charge to hire a wrongful death lawyer unless we are successful in getting your family a settlement or judgment for your wrongful death claim.
That’s because we work on a contingency fee basis, which means we are compensated with a percentage of the settlement we get for you.
And what we do get paid doesn’t come out of your pocket - it solely comes from the money received from your settlement after we win.
