Eligibility to File a Wrongful Death Claim in Texas

In Texas, wrongful death claims can be filed by certain members of the decedent's family. Examples of family members that can file for a wrongful death claim are parents, surviving spouse, children, even adopted children. The claim can be a group claim by the family or be a single claim.

Distribution of Wrongful Death Proceeds in Texas

Wrongful death proceeds are divided in Texas by having all of the various claims consolidated into one lawsuit. For award compensation, every surviving family member will receive a different amount based on their relationship with the decedent and the merit of their loss and suffering.

Understanding the Time Limit for Wrongful Death Lawsuits

The general statute of limitations for a wrongful death claim is two years from the date of the victim's death. In certain cases, however, the statute of limitations may be as short as one year. Special rules apply to minors (minors usually have two years from the date they reach their majority to file a lawsuit) and persons with a mental disability and in cases involving fraud or intentional acts.
